Hi Daisy,
Welcome to SR. There are a lot of people who can relate to you and your situation on the friends and family section of this site.
You should also introduce yourself there.

Keep posting, there's a lot of support on this forum.

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.

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.

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

L

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.
