Decision
 

Dazed - you are smack dab in the middle of a very long confusing grieving process. He may be coming to the realization that you will not be bullied or manipulated anymore, he may be well aware he cannot stop, or he simply has realized that he doesn't want to do the work, or it may just be another passing mood that will change on a dime. In my experience this is just another stab at trying to grasp a little control back since he can't seem to control anything else. Let it be. We are all here for you. Sober or not at some point the realization of what they have done and lost will hit and you most likely won't be there to witness it. For some it comes on their deathbed, for some it comes while chasing other relationships but time catches you and so do consequences eventually.

dawnrising said it spot on. We are here for you!

You still seem to think that by doing this it's an ultimatium for him. It's much more healthy to think of this in terms of that you are doing what you need to do for YOU, setting healthy boundaries for yourself. Focusing on you.

Someone steeped into his addiction that much is not likely to change now. I hope he does, maybe it would save his own life, but you cannot control that, nor can you continue to go on as it has been.

Huge hugs.

Let him dwell and stuff. Maybe he Will come to terms with himself while he is all boozed up. And the song comes on. Dont know what you got till its gone............peace be with you. Stay strong

Put the focus back on you.

That's the only person you can control in this situation.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I hope at this point you know that listening to anything he says is pointless. His thoughts on this are changing like the wind which isn't all that surprising since he is deep in his addiction.

Please don't try to apply logic here, it will make you crazy.

You don't know that all is lost. He might go out and seek recovery in an hour, or maybe never, more will be revealed over time.

In the meantime, how about focusing some of that love and attention on yourself? You're a good person, you care, how about giving yourself a little break here.

I know it hurts like hell right now however a week from now or a few days from now you are going to have some of the fog lifting and you are going to start having (I think) a bit of a different perspective here.

He has gone from probably promising you every few months that he will seek treatment to doing that every few hours. You are on a super fast roller-coaster ride here and it's time to hop off!

Protect yourself.

I so hope you find some distance from him. You can't start healing until you have some space and time from the craziness.

Do what you can to get away from him and if you can't start practicing the Grey Rock thingy. Ugh Dazed. This sucks.
