Husband’s in rehab....
I’m new here, was looking for resources and support for myself and found this forum.
My husband has been a heavy drinker for years, the past several years have gotten very bad. This is his 2nd time in rehab, first in 2019 with only a few months clean post discharge. I’m scared, exhausted, lonely...it’s been 8 days and I was able to speak to him today for the first time. He sounds good, hopeful. I keep reminding myself of the shell of a human being he was when he left, the lying, hiding booze, sleeping all the time, falling down, not helping with anything at home... I could go on.
I know he’s where he needs to be but this is tough.
