Husband home from rehab
Josh came home from inpatient last month, and now I'm the unofficial recovery manager of our house. I cook differently, hide the wine and watch his mood all day. It's wearing me down. How do spouses keep a healthy balance? Looking for tips, and recommendations for family programs or counseling around New York.

It's easy to become so focused on keeping someone else sober that you forget you're a person too. My friend's husband came home from rehab, and she initially monitored every little thing he did. Eventually, they contacted 24/7 mental health and addiction treatment Ticonderoga to ask about family support options. She also started seeing a counselor herself and stopped treating every bad mood as a warning sign. Having separate routines, clear boundaries and time together without discussing recovery made a real difference.
