Is there a repairing your marriage board
| Fri, 06-15-2007 - 5:58am |
Looks like we're switching gears. I'm not 100% I want to even try but I have two kids to think about and he's doing a 180 here. Honestly, it's been many many years since he was sober so I feel I need to give it one more try with him not drinking. I don't know if we'll make it. I really need to find a support group as I go through this.

Here are some you can peek at:
God luck!

good for you. i wish you all the best. while these boards are fantastic, i would strongly recommend finding an al-anon group in your area for you and an aa group for your h. you may also want to find a really good mc or ic to help.
i have had more than my fair share of experience with alcoholism. my stbx went to rehab in october, stayed sober until december 23, then went back to booze. alcohol nearly killed my father just last month. he is 73 years old and has never attempted to become sober until now. alcoholism is an illness. your h is in complete control of his destiny. you, gr8, cannot fix it, cure it, or make it better. childhood exposure to alcoholism increases the chance of children growing up to be alcoholics themselves, or marrying an alcoholic. regardless, following your heart in a situation where substance addiction/abuse is not always the best choice.
i don't want to preceive this as negative, but please educate yourself. maybe you already have. if so, good for you. if not, please do so as you embark on this journey.
all the best to you!

Hi Gr8fulmom,
Well, we never know how things will go. Sometimes it takes a crisis (like splitting up) for us to see things more clearly. It goes both ways and your ambivalence about making up is understandable.
