Hello - Today I took my A husband to rehab.  Glenbeigh.  I think I might be in shock.  I can't believe he finally took this step.  I can't talk to him for 48 hours.  I don't know how long he is going to be in there.  They said they customize each program for each person.  I wish I would have gotten a ball park.  I love him and I am so proud of him for taking this step.  At 4pm he said, "I will go to detox if you find me a place."  I said, "ok, give me some time."  I called to see what my insurance covered.  By 5pm we were on the road.  I had to seize this opportunity.  I told the lady on the phone that we had to put him in today.  He would change him mind if we have him a chance.  He has in the past.  I can't believe this is happening.  Yet, I am happy that he has taken the step.  I am going to my personal shrink tomorrow.  I know that I have to take care of myself.  I could use as many friends as possible.

Sounds like you are in the right place. I came to alanon when my husband first sobered up - I came because I thought it was what I was supposed to do to support him. I stayed because I realized that *I* needed support. Welcome.

HI cac , I hope u find meetings for yourself quick , u will need to recover from this disease too and sobrity is not the answer to all of your problems .  In Al-Anon u will meet people who understand and can walk u thru this , never ahve to go thru anything alone again .  you will make new friends and for me it was the best way to support my husb .  learn about the disease  and how it has affected me and change what needed to be changed . good luck   Louise
