I'm so sorry Green, that is most likely a shock to you. My xabf quit many times and somehow I was always shocked when he stated again.

Hope you hang around and read as much as you can , the stickies at the top of the page are always awesome.

Post too, I'm sorry that you are hurting, he is doing what alcoholics do, they drink.

5 years on and off. It took me about 2 years to really stop the madness.

A lot of us here can relate to that. Unfortunately rehab is not a cure but it is a step I the right direction.

What are your plans? Are you working on a program for you? Alanon?

Welcome Green, I am sorry about your AH. If you read on the Alcoholism forum, you will see that it is quite common for A's to relapse. He's not the first and won't be the last. He did get the month in of sobriety. He does know what it feels like, so good for him.

You have to understand that he is probably more bummed about him relapsing then you are. So try and let him have is recovery and you have yours. Keep reading here, and posting. You need to get healthy also, as we become addicted to our addict.

Hugs my new friend, and keep coming back!!

Maia it's as if you have taken the thoughts from my head there, addicted to the addict that's exactly what I feel like.

Yes, Its true when you realize that. So what you have to do is work your program because you are an addict to. Mind your business and take care of you. He will try and take care of his addiction.

Do some open AA meetings, alanon meetings go the the other forums here and educate yourself. As angry as you are at him, if you hit the other forums you might find a little compassion of what their addiction is all about.

Keep posting girl friend, you can only get healthier!!!
