Hey,
It's been a few days since he left the house. All is going very well. I'm still doing a good job of keeping the old behaviors at bay. He called on Friday to say he was checking into the hospital the next day. He said "not because I'm on drugs, I'm just not well". Guess what I heard. The white aflek Duck "quack, quack, quack" (read that somewhere on here, it really works)! Anyway, I called his mom the next day. Of course, he wasn't going into the hospital.
Anywhoo, Things appear to be moving right on time. :-)

Keep taking good care of YOU -
another one that I like to use beside the quacking duck is "I'd have better luck talking to a PINE TREE than trying to reason with an active drinking/using partner."
For me, the next time I think I can have a sane discussion with a loved one that is under the influence of alcohol or substances - I just walk outside and talk to a PINE TREE - I usually get better results than talking with the alcoholic/addict.
HUGS(hope, unity, gratitude and serenity) to you !!

I changed my AH's name on my cell phone to "Don't Believe Him" and replaced his picture with a picture of a rubber duckie.
Hey, gets me up for the game!
You sound great...happy for you he's out!

Friend,,
He will splat in his own time, not yours. Could be tomorrow, could be 10 years, could be never.
Glad you have good plans for you this weekend! I hope you have fun and find peace of mind!
