Lack of trust leads to personal growth I hope.
by: scarlett1970

Before I say anything about my husband I want to say that I too am an alcoholic and a member of AA. I have nearly 5 years of sobriety. The reason why I admit this is because I know that my husbands drug use could be a hazard to my personal state. We were together 2 years and separated for 1. The entire time we were apart all we (I know that I can speak for him too) wished and hoped for was to get back together. He relapsed (which is why we split up) and after getting back together and being days away from his 1 year cake he slipped again. I have left him before and know that this is not the answer for me. I was married, and divorced before and never have I love or even thought I could love another human the way I love this man. Of course I realize that there is some co-dependence there too. I wouldn't be a good alcoholic if I didn't have other crap as well. I know a woman who is and has been married to an active alcoholic for years and I have always asked myself how she does it. Today I understand. She loves him. Somehow, they fit even though there are problems. I don't know if this is the right answer. I hope that one day at a time though that answer I will continue to live a happy sober life with the help and guidance of someone much more powerful than me.

Trust Yourself
by: C-P

Trust yourself - you've done the right thing. Your husband will now really begin to experience the consequences of his continued drug addiction. If he wants his family back - he'll realise he's powerless over his addiction, get help and be humble enough to follow a recovery program to ensure he stays clean. But the insanity of addiction is such - that even though with what you would think would be all the motivation in the world (regain his family) - there's no guarantee he will change. So you have to focus on yourself now and do what you need to find happiness. Support groups can help tremendously and that's why Naranon or Al Anon are such a good idea. Also trust that in the long-run there is a higher purpose behind everything and that everything will work out for the best. God Bless
