Thanks everyone for pushing the hubby on with words of encouragement. (For those new it's bad attitude) He is finally feeling somewhat better. He left for work at 6 this morning and I have been a nervous wreck since. I know he is fine but still I can't help but worry about him. I am so proud of him and so happy that I have a now have not only a wonderful husband but a sober one to boot. It will be a day by day battle for him but I know he can make it through. Now it seems to be the mental stuff that is driving him crazy, panic attacks and the shakes. And for those who don't believe excerise does do wonders. He thought it wouldn't help but last night I flipped out and said to him to get his sorry a** pathetic butt out of the house and take a walk. He did, walked a mile alone then came back and did another mile with me. He couldn't believe he could do it with the lack of sleep. He is planning to do 2 miles again tonight. I am sure he will post later tonight about his first day back.
Stay strong.......
Tina

Mistyeyes,
did he get any face to face support? That is so crucial at this point. Especially if he isn't feeling that great yet, and he is going back to where people are using.
I hated the panic that I had, I thought that I was going nuts. Every little thing used to set me off. I wish the first time someone would have told me that.
The second time, I used my music and loooonnnnggg walks with my girls to help pass the time.
good luck to the both of you!

Hi littlebeach.......He is going out-patient and they are sending him to a shrink. Bob is looking into some na meetings near us because he hated the first one he went to. Thanks BOB! It is not even a good description saying going back to where people are using. Where he is at right now for work you can buy drugs on every corner and in between. It is so sad. I just talked to him and he said that he is hanging in, been seeing the dealers all morning and right now really has no craving for the drugs more worried about the stress of his job being so tired. Well I am off going to make a big pile of leaves in the yard and jump in them with the baby. Now thats stress relief!
Thanks ans stay strong...........

Hey RaeRae,
No we are in NJ. I am glad you responded though. I wanted to thank you for all the suggestions about aternative therapies. The camomile tea and B12 he is using. If I could get 5 minutes I would have tried the lavendar bath. My luck I would get hives! lol Thanks for all you have done, that encludes everyone out there. This board has been great! I am glad he is back to work too, worse than having the kids home.
Stay Strong........
