Has anyone in this group seen their husband successfully recover or sustain sober recovery?
I ask because if you read my earlier post from two weeks ago, my husband has been going through one of his worse relapses in five years.
He went into the hospital for pancreatitis for 3 days, received recommendation for a psych consult and then had a minor freak out once he got home and couldn't park his car in our driveway because of the snow and had a breakdown, came into the house crying, shaved his head and beard and then did some weird voodoo to his prescription pain killers to make them more straight morphine. He was sober from the Saturday he came home until Tuesday when I saw the charges on our joint checking account at come in that he was at the bar. I moved all the money and then scheduled a transfer from the joint account Friday to my personal account to ensure he doesn't spend all of his money on booze while i am out of town this weekend.

He tried going to the hospital Tuesday night for a psych consult, they put him in a room and didn't have anyone consult with him. He evidently threw enough of a fit where the doc visited him, and released him. He says he has something set up for later, but since he is an alcoholic and lies, i'm not sure.

So basically, I am just wondering if there are those among us in this group who can share the light at the end of the tunnel. I know it may not be there for each of us, but has it happened?

I dont hate my husband -- if anything the extreme amount of love we have for one another has gotten us through this much, but I do fear from reading some of what other share that I will grow to hate him and have shared as much with him.

Of course I am sad and disappointed. But am looking for some light.
