It was that moment for her where she could see something so clearly and so real, that he just could not.
Early yesterday evening:
AH - "I've have tried so hard not to drink all day. It's gotten bad. I'm drinking so much again I can't just stop. I thought I was having a heart attack earlier. It is scary."
Me - "That is what detox is for. We've met the deductible. It wouldn't cost us anything."
Long pause.
AH - looks at me with tears in his eyes. "Are you still going to be here when I get back?"
Me - "From where?" Hopeful, but wondering if he is going to want to go to a different detox.
AH - "The store."
