So proud of you. If your husband's scared about the "real world" there are sober living houses that work as sort of a transition. If he wants to do that, don't push for him to come home sooner. You both need to focus on your respective recoveries, and the path may be a little different for each of you.

I know. I've thought a lot about his aftercare..but haven't really talked to him about it yet. I'm scared that it's too soon for him to come home. The people I talked to at the al-anon meeting are tending to agree with me. Just based on things he's said to me. I'm going up again on Saturday and I really need to have a conversation with him. Unfortunately $$ doesn't grow on trees though...

It might be a good discussion to have with the two of you AND his counselor or therapist there. Get that person's input. It might also be best to have a buffer for that kind of conversation. In fact, you might want to talk to that person in advance to let him/her know your thoughts and maybe look into what might be available that wouldn't be too costly.
