After he lost everything (and I lost it all, too), he tried to die. It didn't work. He was in physical rehab for a long time after a 30-foot leap onto a concrete floor and was very nasty since he needed a drink. My husband dried up but was still never the same. He went back to the alcohol time and time again. He just got out of jail after his 4th DUI in 5 years. I miss the man I married and hate addiction, especially to alcohol. It's so accepted in much of society. They even get laughs and an audience when they do and say funny things. To me, it is not amusing in the least. Our whole family was dragged down with him. None of the children even speak to him.
