It was in late August of last year that The Man went to his command and told him he wanted help with his drinking. They brought him to SARP (Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program) and he had to do tons of paperwork. It was a few weeks later that he started the program. Those few weeks were hard and by the time he started he wanted nothing to do with the program. He had changed his mind. He was hoping that he could get his drinking under control and that he could say and do the right things to make them think that he was doing great. He entered the program thinking that he would still be able to drink. And drink he did. In secret since it wasn't allowed as part of the program. It caused problems but that's a whole different blog post!
Baby, I'm so proud of you!
Congratulations to him! That is so amazing. And you are so strong for supporting him through that. Yay for 10 months and many more to come!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to The Man and to you for what I'm sure has been wonderful support on his behalf as well.
ReplyDeleteHope you got some answers about your Dad...keeping prayers for him.
Congrats, The Man! It's a difficult obstacle to overcome. He (and you) should be very proud!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you guys! This a a huge milestone. We'll continue to pray for you guys.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to both of you, and thank you for your willingness to share this. This is something that I did not know about him. It takes courage to be open enough to talk about it. I know because I too have been open about addiction issues we have had in our family as well. Other people can only benefit from our experiences if we are willing to share them. Thanks again and keep it going.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you both! And like the commenter above said, thank you for sharing something so personal with us.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the Man! What an amazing achievement! Before you know it, he'll be celebrating years of sobriety! My friend's boyfriend just celebrated 18 months. Each month is an important milestone.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you too, for supporting him through this difficult journey!
Congrats to your hubby! That is wonderful progress and I'm so glad he's sticking to things. I'm glad that you are a support to him and stayed by his side through all of this.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to him! :D
