Husband in rehab

[The6thQueen]

DH has been in rehab for a week. I’m missing him, terrified it won’t work. Had a dream last night he came home and started drinking again. I’ve told him this has to be it. I can’t do it anymore if he starts again. We have two children 8 and 11.
He says he wants to stop, knows he needs to stop and he is engaging with everything.
I know I have no control or sway. I don’t know what I want really, just posting for a handhold.

I meant rehab is 12 weeks.

@The6thQueen your update sounds really positive, doing service is good and getting a sponsor to go through the steps will be further steps to aid his recovery. AA is his treatment.

The doubt and worry for you takes a long time to go, even now for me - and H is 13 years sober, it still pops in my mind but fleetingly.
In the early days it was ever present but, like you, never did I tell him that and stayed positive and supportive as though it was an illness (which it is). Although with this disease that is often much easier said than done.
One day at a time x

I am an alcoholic and in long term recovery what great support and advice on here.
things have really changed since I got sober where the only option was to attend meetings. I stay sober by connecting with other sober people, going on walks, meal’s etc and believing that I can achieve sobriety.

I wish you all the best
