This is my first post. I appreciate any guidance. My husband recently stopped drinking in an effort to salvage our marriage. He hasn't had a drink since September. We moved to a new state, and he found a job he said he loved. But this past Tuesday, he didn't show up for work. I haven't seen him since. He used to disappear without warning in our home state. But he was drinking then, too. I would usually find him drunk in the desert or at his dad's house in a nearby town. Anyway, I don't know where he could be; we don't know anyone here. Plus, Christmas is coming and our five-year-old is missing him. Any advice? Thanks so much!

Wow, Kms,

If you can't think of anywhere to look for him and you don't know anyone there where he might be staying, maybe you should call the police. I assume you've contacted his work place and they have no idea where he is.

I wish you well and I am sorry you are going throught his.

I pray the worse has not befallen your husband and I hesitate to say this but I suspect your husband may have started drinking again.

Please keep in touch and let us know what is happening.

My heart goes out to you. I am sorry this has happened. All I can say is call his work, the police, the hospital, a homeless shelter (he may feel he is unworthy of a good life, just a thought from experience). Call anywhere you can think of.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sounds like a relapse...
Hopefully God's taking care of him...

I've been where you are - I know it sucks -

Check out the 'Friends + Family of Alcoholics' forum here -
Check out Al-anon in your area - - both are filled with wonderfully awesome people who understand -

Take care of YOU!

The most likely scenario is that history has repeated itself:
He is most likely on a bender and off to drink by himself. This bender might be a big one, as it has been some time since he last drank and may feel shame about having fallen off the wagon. He may have gone to a nearby town to drink. Follow his old patterns and you will find him.

I was just thinking about you. I wanted to check to see if you have had any news? Let us hear from you, we care. I'm praying for you.

Thank you, everyone for your support. I tracked my husband (through his credit card action) to a motel room. He says he was too sick to go to work and he was afraid to call me. I swear, I am not the type to yell at him, so I don't understand this...Anyway, he has gone to stay with his mother in another state. I'm getting a truck and am moving back home again... Thanks so much again.

KMS - I hope all goes well for you. I'm sorry that you are in the situation you are in (husband drinking). The best thing is for you to take care of you and your child -- he has to do his own work. Best wishes...

Sounds like it's time to call all "Plan B".

Peter

I am sorry this has happened and I hope things work out for you.

My prayers are with you both.
