Well, I was trying to find this thread for a long time to post a wondeerful update on my ex.
He has been sober now for pushing a month now, after entering a recovery place and program after passing out (fainting - malnutrition and alcohol) a couple of times which resulted in overnight visits to hospital
which scared the crap out of him. I've been helping run his website and other necessary things while he's been in the treatment place.
I'm thrilled to say that he's seeming quite hooked by sobriety and feeling like his old self, who he hasn't "felt" in many many years and that he's strongly decided about this being a "quit forever" trend.
For myself, it's amazing to talk to a 'sober" ex, as I've never known him "sober" ... nor has he known me as his sober-self This is just one month of sobriety, but thank god for the program he's in because it's excellent and prepares him for when he's home again, facing his life, sober. He's eating and gaining back some weight (was severely underweight and malnourished by now )
Will wonders never cease ... there are a lot of happy people, right now, who care about him and have tried, all in our own ways, to nudge and push him closer to this "sobriety" for a long time. He really could NOT have survived much more in the condition he was in, so I say, thank god for the health crisis that forced this to happen, finally. And thank god that he loves "waking up to himself again" and that only sobriety is giving him his self and his life back, therefore he wants this for himself, not for someone else, so its more likely to stick.
Yes. Excellent news here
