The therapist my AH had after his second attempt freely admitted she had no experience dealing with alcoholism. Her job was to get him to where he could go back to work. Well she got him well enough to be able to return without feeling too self consious about the nasty scars on his neck where he cut his throat (yes, lots of sarcasm there) but she didn't get him well enough to be able to last at his job. He was fired within 4 months of returning. So he's home, collecting unemployment for 30 weeks and he's got nothing else to do but drink, and drink, and drink. Great therapy he got, just great! When the money ran out he took some of his coin collection, sold it, got a motel room for a few days and tried the suicide again. That second DUI was a lifesaver for him, literaly. That accident was the work of God I have no doubt and more importantly, he thinks so too.

ByAThread, you're husband not taking his meds because they say "Don't take with alcohol", now that is classic A logic!
