Divorcing an A
If I file for a divorce and he's a jerk and decides he wants visitations just to tick me off does he get granted that? Do I have to prove he's an alcoholic or just have witnesses? Protecting my children is my first priority. Can any offer advice or if anyone has been in this situation. How do you stop them from getting in the car with the alcoholic?
Deja Vu All Over Again
Well, I did it again. Another nasty bender that left me hospitalized, and I got very suicidal and ended up in residential rehab (9th rehab program I've started, but first inpatient) as it seemed a fine alternative to 5150. I just transitioned to day treatment and sober living.
I never got over my past incidents and resentments, and I was working a fairly strong AA program, but one that was full of half measures--lack of service, and recovery was not always my first priority.
I'm pulling out all the stops this time to get some structure and get sober. I lost my fiancee and apartment again, almost a year to the day I lost them last year. Luckily I still have my job; my boss is very supportive, thank god.
I'm being treated for bipolar and have a new therapist who is an addiction specialist. Hopefully this can get me over the hump of depression, mania and obsessive thoughts that keep taking me out every few months. It's hard to believe I have to go through all this when I've drank only six times in the last 400 days. Each time I get drunk now I get drugs, and the coke/booze combo nearly killed me this time. I sink into a dark depression that is worse every time I go out. I just don't have the luxury of "one last run".
Thanks for listening.
