I could use some support vibes right now.  DH went missing this week due to alcohol.  He decided to admit himself into rehab.  He will be there until at least Monday and I am visiting him as often as I can.  My father is a recovering alcoholic so I have been through this before.  This time however is different because it is my husband. Has anyone used Al-Anon?

    Oh man, this must be so difficult, but how wonderful that he's getting help if he needs it!

    No advice, but lots of good vibes going your way.  I've had several bosses and co-workers who were fully recovered alcoholics and they're doing really great.  My current boss went through Al-Anon and has positive things to say about it.

    lots of good thoughts to you & your husband. i am very fortunate to have not had to deal with alcoholism in my family but i've heard that al-anon can be helpful. or maybe even seeing a therapist on your own and/or with DH. it is good that your husband is getting himself some help.

    The first step is always the hardest. Thinking of you and your husband as he starts on the road to recovery and sobriety.

    Oh I am so sorry. Good for him for getting the help he needs. My dad is a recovering alcoholic, 19 or 20 years. I was young when he went into rehab so I never went to any meetings, I think my mom had tried a couple but they weren't for her. Good luck to both of you.

    I am sorry you are going through this but thats good that he went himself and no one forced him to go.  My dad went to rehab while he was seperated from my mom before the divorce when i was young.  Hopefully it will help him.

    I am so sorry that you are going through this. I'm glad he is getting the help he needs though. No advice on Al-Anon but I hope that you are all able to get through this.

    My cousin went to NarcAnon (is that right) and my Aunt and Uncle did the family group meetings and it was extremely helpful to all.  In fact, my cousin still goes and is a sponsor.  He met his wife there and they're expecting their first child next year.  He has 5 years, she has 2.  I pray that you and your husband are able to overcome this and remain a family.  I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

    I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. The good thing is that he is getting help. My dad has been through the program as well, and I know that my mom went to a form of Alanon was well as private councelling and it helped her a lot.

    That is such good news that your husband admitted himself & was not forced. You both will be in my thoughts and I will pray that you both find the patience and strength to get through this.
