I should add he's been desperate after I went to Portugal to get the Psych referal - even more so after his 'incident' in town.
The fact they've refused him and the docs visit last week really hurt - it was after that he got very tearful and down. He also knows if he drinks anything like before he'll be admitted to the addiction place and is more scared of that.
Of course none of that makes it any easier to face the recovery self examination while he's so low, and not thinking straight - but without that self examination he doesn't seem able to stay off booze completely!! BLAH!!
