Hi. I'm new to this forum. My DH just got out of detox. He had been drinking behind my back for over 2 years. [View all]

I had no idea. It had gotten to the point his DT's were so bad he finally asked me to get him help. I immediately got him into detox and he's been home for 3 days. My trust in him has been shattered. I'm trying to figure out the next step. He says he never wants to drink again. He had been drinking 1 pint of whiskey/bourdon a day. His blood alcohol level when I took him in for detox was .3

We've been married for over 33 years and this has blindsided me.

It seems most programs are 12 step/AA. He's introverted and doesn't like the idea of doing group meetings.

Would love to hear from others out there w/ their rehab stories and words of advice.

All the empties he had left hidden in the house. He said he was hoping to get caught rather than have to admit it.

(Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to directly post from postimage)
