My husband finally hit his bottom and decided to get help. He went to rehab and did the 30 day program. It all happened so fast, it was hard to believe it was finally happening! As I'm sure you all can relate to we must have had the talk a million times about how he needed help and there was nothing wrong with that and that a program would be the best way to be successful in sobriety as he had tried on his own many many times. I was terrified after leaving the rehab facility that he would just leave a day or two later after feeling better, but I couldn't believe his commitment to it. I was so incredibly happy to see it and knew that he really wanted to learn about his problem and to beat it.

He's been home for 2 weeks now and just started a new job that takes him away for a week at a time with limited communication. I want to be supportive and to be there for him but I find myself worrying a lot about the what if's. What if he falls off the wagon? What if I push to hard or not enough? I read the books about how to get him sober, but I feel poorly equipped with the what to do after they get sober part. Has anyone been through this chapter that can offer any valuable advice? My husband said that I should go to an Al-Anon meeting to help me, but I find myself scared to go. i'll definitely go because I know I need to for both my sake and for both of us, but if anyone has any advice for this stage I'm open ears.

Thanks for listening.
