I'm at home anxiously waiting for a drs call to hear about rehab options. My husband is seeing his therapist today to help deal with his thoughts about this. Haven't seen him for two days. I don't know what to say.

I remember being so desperate waiting for an open bed. Pacing the floors. Scared to death about loosing my job, scared to death that my boyfriend had had enough of me and would not be there when I came back from rehab. I admire your courage harley. Do not give up on this. You are so worth it. It is good that your husband is standing by you. You will be in my thoughts.

Hang in there. I would be anxious too! No matter what the call says, have your next steps in mind so you're ready for anything. No matter what, don't give up. There is always a plan to be made. Hope all goes well with your husband, too. If you're not sure what to say, then just say that - "I don't know what to say" .... Be real.. be yourself. (Hugs) and good luck!

Thanks guys! Soberred, I swear the thought of losing my job is scaring me almost as losing my husband. How did you handle it?

soberred

I was more afraid of dying. If I would have kept drinking, I would have. I was that close. My daughters deserve a mother. A sober mother.

I agree. I'm scared about my job, but I realize I could have died. Hopefully that does it for me.

I hope so to harley. It not easy. It does get better though. I promise.

Hi Harleyq,

I think I read in one of your previous posts that you said "the rehab just has to be done" - the same could not have been more true in my case. You are going there to get your life back....saving it.

I know you are worried about your job and your husband - this line at some point resonated with me and it still does - "whatever you put ahead of your recovery....you will lose"

My best thinking got me to rehab....it was the BEST decision I ever made.
