Thanks for your insight. Right now, my husband is in his last wk of outpatient rehab and doing well. We are once again enjoying a calm, peaceful family life. But how long will it last? and can we pick up the pieces & hold it together? Right now, for me the difficult part is not knowing what our future will be. Before he started rehab & AA, I had finally resigned myself to taking the kids & leaving a 20 yr marriage. We had hit the point where I couldn't live with the drinking anymore & he couldn't live without it. Now, he has sought help & is attempting to make positive changes in his life. I am supportive & happy for him, but I'm not sure if we can repair the emotional damage that has occurred through all of this. For now though, I'm hanging in there. If we can salvage what we've got, it's worth a try.
