Relapsed
AS has relapsed after almost 3 months clean.
Missed 2 days of work so far.
I don't live anywhere near infact 1000's of miles away.
AS lives alone. Has no family to be there.
I know this is his journey. Just hurts so bad not knowing what lies ahead.
Tells me had can't stop drinking now. My suggestions of going to detox or calling where he went to inpatient fall on deaf ears.

He sent me a text early this morning that he can't stop drinking and was vomiting blood. DId facetime and he was at a bar.
I suggested detox, etc. he didn't seem to want to hear.
Now won't answer phone at all.

hummingbird...I would suggest that you ask the police to do a wellness check on him....and share the info that he is vomiting blood. etc....
Do you believe him...that he is actually vomiting blood...?
When he calls you, what does he want/ask you to do...?

I am so sorry you are going through this again. I agree, a welfare check on him should be done. I am not familiar with if you are seeking any kind of support other then SR, al-anon? therapy? Now would be the best time for you to up your meetings, sessions if you’ve ventured down that path.

He sent me a text in the afternoon and I got my hopes up because it was a normal text.
Then he called and well you all know the rest of the story. He hardly spoke. I asked if he was going to work tomorrow and he said not until lunch. I mentioned what he text me earlier and it was like he had no clue that he said where he was going on Saturday... I asked how his day was and I got that it was not good...
There was a knock at his door and he hung up. My husband called him about a half hour later and he said he was eating something with one of his friends from rehab so that was good. Hoping that young man can get him to seek help again.
He has about 4 friends out there that really seem to care and try to support him. Praying they can make a difference.
If the job is lost, there will be no choice then... sober living or homeless.

He is at the er now. His friend took him. Not sure what he will decide to do next. He cut up all of his credit cards so he wouldn't be able to buy any booze. I know he doesn't want this for his life but he has fought all of the recommendations and now this.
