Unfortunately, rehab is the just the start of a life-long journey. And early recovery is often just as selfish is active addiction because the recovering alcoholic needs to put every bit of their mind and energy into learning how to live without alcohol. He really may simply not have it in him to be what he needs and what you need yet.
Plus, some of those who struggle with addiction require several times in rehab before they really commit to this new, sober life.
Batchel, do you have someone for you and the kids can talk to about how you are all feeling?
