Well, today's the day. The first day I will lay eyes on a sober husband in about 18 years. I have to leave shortly and make my way to the treatment facility about 200 miles away.

I don't know what to expect. Don't know what to say, what to feel. I'm nervous and scared. I've never been on this journey before and don't know how to "pack."

Tomorrow, I begin my family therapy at the facility for 2 days. Then, on Valentines Day (how appropriate), we will go through group together, and he will subsequently "graduate" from phase 1 and return home to begin phase 2, the outpatient recovery.

I don't know what terrifies me more... coming face-to-face with my AH, or being without my computer (and you all) for the next 3 days. I'm taking my old lap top and hoping I will be able to get it up and running.

Wish me luck.

Well, you are all still headed in the right direction. I hope you'll let us know how it goes. We're all with you in spirit and that's as close to a treatment facility that we'll ever get. Good Luck!!!!
