Update from Me
Hi All! I haven't posted about myself and my situation in a while. I bet you all thought things were going well. HA! I wish. To bring you all up to speed quickly, my AH got out of jail on March 20th with a bracelet and he had to attend a daily program 4-days per week. At the program he got a urine test each time. He behaved and didn't drink. On April 25th or so he had the bracelet removed and he didn't have to attend the daily program anymore. And I'm sure on the way home that day he bought himself a bottle, or at least within a day or two after. He's been given a color for urine testing and as usual, he's gotten a color that they might call once a month. He knows the game so he'll take his chances.
Anyway, my first clue to his drinking was that at times I thought I smelled it on him. He would drink in tiny bits so as not to get noticibly drunk. But not anymore! Once again tonight I have come home to a stumbling drunk! So drunk he didn't remember to hide his bottle before I got home. It was right out on the counter in plain sight. I brought it out to him and told him he was slipping. He said "F-you". I then told him to leave and he did. Walked off down the street into an area where they are building new homes. No homes yet, just lots of dirt. And we've just had a thunderstorm. Oh well, what do you want. He's a drunk.
I called and left a message with his parole officer and I asked him to call me at work tomorrow. I'm recinding my "Home Sponsorship". He's on parole until mid July. I don't know where they'll send him. Maybe a sober house or something or maybe back to jail. He'll never get sober living here. If they do a urine test on him tomorrow I guarantee he'll pee out a positive!
Coming home to a drunk just absolutely sucks. And all his talk about how jail made such an impression on him. Blah, blah, blah, ...
So that's it from here. Take care
