For those of you that have been to inpatient rehab, what are the best ways your loved ones at home supported you? I sent him with an envelope to open each day with family pictures and positive encouragement, but I'm at a loss as to the best way to be supportive from 3 hours and what feels like worlds away physically and emotionally. I dropped him off yesterday and I can't sleep. I know I need to spend time taking care of myself and I've looked into Al-anon, will be getting a few books to read, and as, frankly, embarrassed as I am I have reached out to my family and friends as well. I have been struggling with this issue for years and I have a lot of anger, resentment, guilt and stress to work through. Without sharing much information, my spouse is an RN who got in trouble with alcohol and opiates. I was advised on this board not to give details or identifying information, although I'm not sure why it matters much as the Board of Nursing already knows all. Really I'm just looking for any advice or support anyone wants to give, it's hard to know where to turn in this situation.

I deleted my post. New here. Not sure if what I shared was risky or not. If anyone wants to message me, feel free. I can't send messages because I haven't posted enough. Thank you to those of you that took the time to read and respond to my situation, I appreciate it. It made me feel a little less alone and a little more prepared for what's to come.
