Well, My AH told me that The guy he meets with on Wednesday night Bible Study sent him a message asking if he would be there tonight. When my AH said Yes, the guy said "GREAT!"  (he is the one that's going to talk with him) MY AH said "I think he gets lonely." So he has no clue it's coming. I think he feels reved up to go cause he thinks HE is helping the OTHER guy with his loneliness!!! Anyway, I am praying for his mind to be open to hear what his friend has to say. Pray that he doesn't come home mad at ME for some reason, thinking I had something to do with it. Feeling all kinds of emotions. Mostly hopeful, but a little worried things won't go good.   It's hard to put it in Gods hands, but I am.

I hope it goes the way you want. Are you in Alanon? That will help you recover and help you focus on your own life despite drinking or not.

I'm not in alanon, but I have been, and I have quite a large support group of my church and family, a lot of which have been through AA or Alanon. My father was an alcoholic, and on and on. :)

Prayers to you and your husband. Have been where you are now and it was the best decision I made. Even if it doesn't go well, remember that you can't make him get sober and maybe this wasn't his bottom. Just continue trusting that your HP will show you the way.

Thank you Jazzie18. I have often wondered what it would take for him to hit bottom. I think this will be eye opening for him to realize that the whole home church knows, when he thought he was hiding it. That could be enough to jolt him into reality, but I will not hold my breath. Seen too many "I quit" times and then going back to believe it. But I will support him if he does. One day at a time!
