Dazed, I really don't think there is much that is more difficult than what you are going through (maybe losing a child might be harder but not by much).

Please keep doing everything you can to take care of yourself. Every hour you survive is a victory.

Inspite of the torturing hope, it is unlikely that he is going to get sober long term. He might but it won't be easy and he has one hell of a long way to go if he does truly enter into recovery.

I quit drinking last summer. I joined one of the monthly classes. When it started there were probably 20-30 people. Now there are about 7 of us who post regularly. Sobriety is a super easy thing to start with enthusiasm but to keep it going is tough . . . . I will say that some of my classmates found other means of support that worked for them.

Big hug to you.
