I just had to help hubby take his best friend to the hospital for psych/alcohol/suicide

[greenbriar]

he has been staying with us for over a year, his drinking has become WORSE by far, this last week he has not even gone to work. He has drank for over 5 days solid. All he has been doing is drinking and sleeping. Today, he told hubby if he could have found one of hubbys guns, he would have shot himself in the head.

I told hubby it was time to do something. (I have been thinking it was time for a while, but hubby balked)

After 3 hours in the ER intake room, he was finally admitted for eval and hubby is still there, it could be another 2 hours before we know what is going to happen.



The good news: Hubby has completely sworn off drinking all together...We saw a LOT of shit in the waiting room and once we got back to the "psych/alcohol area we saw and heard much more...


WOW I know it is a cruel world, but I am so sheltered. We didn't even know who to call or what to do. We just got the phone book out and started making calls.

I don't know what is going to happen now, but I know that he can't come back here
