I think he'd need a head replacement if he turns you down

But please be careful, people can say lots of things online, doesn't mean they are true. Take a friend, just follow normal rules.

Had some friends round for tea, they had 2 bottles of wine between the five of them. I had a sniff and emptied the last bit down the sink Had a great time and a laugh.

Amazingly relaxed for me

He's in treatment - at the Priory - It's self funded so we can't afford much more - but he has prorbaly one of the best alcohol guys in the UK as his doctor. went to first AA meeting this morning - was pretty anoyed that they brethalysed him this morning, said they picked on him. He has to go again tomorrow.

My problem is , I keep reading that it might be better to let him lose everthing than help him by supporting. My youngest is badly affected, so I have to put us first. Up to now he still has a job, a home and a family.

Is he in day treatment at the poiry? i did that for a bit. 3 days i think. i know people who go to meetings at the poiry north london.

i didnt lose my wife or family but i know now how bloody close it came. in all respect to the doctor its only your husband that can help really he needs to want it. would he be able to get a 3 month ticket off his doctor? the centre i recommended cost 5000 for 3 months. and takes people through the 12 step programm of AA. the place i did day treatment in cost 400 per day and 4000 a week. its worth thinking about. it does work f wanted.

ill tell you all a little bit about my first treatment centre. my mum and wife wanted me to go for a while and i agreed after i pushed my wife off a chair. it was the first time i had been violent towards her. as i said i agreed to go on a day to day basis. which they breath tested me when i went in. and even when i went out side whilst there. on the 3rd day i just was not interested in looking at what feelings i drank on and was argumentative and surly. and knew i would drink when i got home. it did my head in that the doctors and nurse's would tell me what i needed to do when they had no idea how i felt. they were not alcoholics after all. when i got there on the thursday morning i was asked if i wanted to stay for a week. (the ££ was discussed with my mum) in my hungover self pity state i said yes so the week consisted of sitting around brainstorming and other threaputic things talking and just looking at the problem really. drugs when ever i asked which i soon came to do regually. the weekends cost the same but we did F all had vists. on the last day i was due to be discharged to a genral hospital to have my wisdom teeth out on the morning i had to wake up early to leave they had trouble rousing me as i'd only had a sleeping tablet 4 hours before and the p1ss test camw out . which tested pos for cannibis which it would as i had only been there a week. i was dichared and leave with my big bag of legal drugs. benzo's mainly. and got to the GH ready in my gown when the doc came back over and said the treatment centre had phoned them to say i was unfit to have the op. i had to leave resentment blit up 2 F#ck. i drank that day on the benzo too. after that day i had two months of the drink. but smoked still. then it was my stag night. and away i went for another year in which i did some insanely tragic things. and didnt work much. then i found P.C.P after I made the dession to go to treatment again. and 3 months later i felt like a different man and had the tools needed to live life on its own terms not mine. day by day.

Dont know why i went on as long as i did there but im not going to delete it. its part of my journey that i've done in life. and its there for all to read now.

i hope your husband finds what he needs weather it be the same path as me or not. every1 else too.

Lewt. lecture over:rolleyes2
