[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 442198"] Thanks all. My husband came home yesterday and started talking about how he thought he would have a really hard time living alone and he would do better in a community living situation. Well yeah!!! I think so too but what I realize is that we can't impose that on him... he really doesn't want to go very far, he has his friends (not good ones but they are people he knows) and I imagine his anxiety goes through the roof when he thinks about doing something new... again... and he doesn't want the structure and rules fo a sober house.... but my hope is that as he is in this situation, if we keep offering love and support without enabling that he will realize himself that he needs a more structured supportive environment. So it really is one step at a time, sometimes a minute at a time. We are going on vacation in August and will be out of the country.... I am a little concerned on how to handle that... but we still have a few weeks before we have to face that. [/QUOTE]
