  • DH is high functioning alcoholic. finally admitted and began going to AA in Jan. Relapse in Feb and again in March. Recommitted to daily AA and seemed successful until last weekend. No obvious trigger but complete relapse and I've moved out. Kids away for next 2 weeks, so now is the time to really make something happen, but what? I'll move back next week, but he'll need to move out because I promised the kids if it happened again this would be the next step and one parent needs to keep their promises, right? Anyone btdt and can recommend 1. a treatment center and options that are primarily serving high functioning addicts rather than destitute or ex-convicts, 2. how to convince him to take enough time off his high pressure job (even if he might lose it) to go to rehab, 3. names of really good and specialized counselors who we could meet with through this, and 4. offer me some hope that we might keep our family intact down the road. We've been together 25 yrs, he's my best friend, and I'm feeling so lost, but need to do this for all of us.

    • Wow, this sounds so hard. I would try to find a therapist that deals with alcholic familes and get some advice/references. Maybe call Al-anon and get some reference since money is not an issue there should be lots of places Dh could go to Promises, Betty Ford, etc.
