While trying to put her in the car a passer by thinks hang on this isn't right and calls the police. BIL gets G in car & gets her home, is in process of trying to get her out of car and police arrive. G passed out compeletely now, BIL explains & enlists police help to get said wife into house. Police caution BIL they understand the circumstances and he only drove 200 yards but he has been drinking. BIL will get a fine.
Somehow I think that will be the last time he takes her out. She has a massive cut/bruise down the side of her neck & face no idea how it occurred. BIL no idea either. BIL admitted if DB had of turned up he would have stayed at the pub. Dad said to her do you want to give up the drink, asked her twice, DB asked the same twice. She declined to answer, said she wants to get better so she can go out and drink like normal people. Thinks rehab will allow her to do that. Is in complete denial. BIL started to cry, BIL has been offered counselling but said he doesn't want or need any help. Dad told him do what you've got to do, if you need to leave her then leave her. Dad so upset asked DB to take him home.
DB spent rest of day at brothers, took dad to his lady friend. Both very upset, DB annoyed he allowed dad to talk him into taking him up there, brother told DB & dad it's been like this for years, nothing new, it's why he and his wife no longer have anything to do with them, sad horrible drama every single weekend.
DB more than ready to come home

may this be it
the obsession
slowly being lifted
Heavenly Father
only You know what is in our heart
having to live life
having to feel when one really doesn't want to feel
the obsession slowly being lifted
knowing one cannot go back to what we know will take it all away
when in actuality the hardest stuff like what you just wrote of
having to make the decision not to drink and deal with whatever is coming down the road
he will be coming home to a safe supportive surroundings all a good thing
only he is in his own head
and has to be brutally honest at the situation at hand
one moment at a time
one situation at a time
may he continue his road to recovery
and that means dealing with the hard facts
i started so long ago
we lost our privileges to drinking
and with that comes the real work
and he is walking the walk
one moment at a time
may he remember his tools that are ready for him to exercise
in his daily life on his road to sobriety
you have been his cheerleader this entire
never b******g how hard it is for you
you are stellar in every way
this has been a telling adventure
and he did not pick up
im cheering with you
he will be in your arms soon
take care of you
love
me
