Hi, TL1. Welcome to SR.
Yes, you did the right thing.
Yes, you did the right thing.
Yes, you did the right thing.
Repeating it 3 times for emphasis.
Life with an alcohol-dependent person is one of the hardest things there is, as you have seen.
It is great that she is going to rehab.
Rehab is just the beginning.
She needs to figure out what a life without alcohol looks like.
You can't help her with that. She needs to do it.
A sober house post-rehab can be an effective way to negotiate sobriety in the early days.
You probably feel like a mean ol villain right now, but, trust me, this is a journey she must take on her own.
Sorry for your pain and sadness. Here when you need us.
