daisyhellride, can you go into detail about your husband problem and was his focus into rehab? I just ask because you said if he was going there for the right reason.

ACT10Npack....he would have never decided to go into rehab had i not finally had my fill and kicked himout after 11 years. I dont think he realized he had a problem

Welcome Daisy.

I found in my own experience that until I was ready to quit it didn't work. I'm hoping he realizes his problem and can come to terms with it in rehab.
I went to out patient rehab and absolutely loved it. You get out what you put in. I am in a totally different state of mind now and so glad I made the decision to go ahead.
Wishing you and him the best.

Welcome Daisy. I have been hanging out for the last 6 weeks. lots of good support.

Daisy hello (My 21 year old daughters name too )

Im now divorced.

When I went to rehab. My wife did not come to visit , when she called there was always and argument . I got home after weeks and went straight down to buy alcohol.

I was there for her. NOT ME.

I went because she said ."If you dont go to rehab, Im leaving".

Unfortunately , Im not good with threats like that and ultimately also, did not want to stop drinking.
I lied to rehab people, lied to myself.



If your husband is in rehab for himself, that is wonderful.

If not , like my wife did, you will find out sooner or later.


thanks for putting your post up. \

I hope it works out well for both of you .

Kind Regards

(((Daisy))), Just remember to take care of YOU!

Hope all goes well!!

Alcoholics, including me, don't seem to do well with ultimatums. It always fueled me to drink more, in a more secretive way. I had to make my own mind up to stop and that is when sobriety could finally gain a foothold. Luckily I have a patient wife. I hope rehab works for your husband, but if he doesn't even believe he has a problem, he has a ways to go in my experience.

Daisy, it wasn't your husband's choice to seek help and go to rehab, but maybe while he is there something will click with him. I think it's just a question of wait and see.

I hope you continue to seek support for yourself.
