My husband broke his sobriety this week after almost 9 years and I don’t know how to respond to him. Do I ask him to go see someone?

Hey everyone, need some advice. I met my husband when he was 4 years sober and he was almost 9 years now. We just moved into a new house about an hour away and he had this last week of work at his previous job, so he stayed in a hotel down there. He went to work Monday and I guess that night he was curious if he could handle a beer and decided to try one. Well one turned into getting drunk and then using meth.

He only told me this yesterday. He was telling me he got food poisoning as the reason why he didn’t feel good. He said he wanted to tell me in person but just couldn’t wait that long.

I’m in such disbelief and shock. He’s always been so disciplined at keeping himself safe and never putting himself in a situation where something could happen. I even quit drinking in support of him because it bothered him being around me if I had a drink.

Now I don’t know what to do. He said he’s so anything I need him to do, but what is that? He said this was a one off but do I trust that? He got sober by going to an in patient treatment center for a couple months and hadn’t relapsed ever till now. I’m so mad he would put himself and is at risk like that. He could’ve easily overdosed, it could’ve been laced with fentanyl. We have a 6 month old baby so wtf.

Do I be understanding? Do I tell him to get help? I’ve never done drive or had a problem with alcohol and never had anyone in my life until him with that problem so I have no clue how to go about handling this.
