popping in to say hello!

[donewithit]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to pop in and let everyone who helped me through the beginning stages of my quit, and my marriage issues, know that I was still alive.

I am sorry I do not get in often anymore (although I do a quick read thru every few days) I am not on internet often once I get home from work, and neither is hubby as we are following very strict rules of our MC. She wants us to spend time together rather than sitting on internet every night.

So . Long story short....STILL AF !!! :cheering: And marriage is very much on the mend. He has realized that it was not just my drinking that was destroying our marriage, that in fact, issues from the past as well as feeling very alone (hubby and sons with video games, computers constantly..me feeling like a cook and maid only) was also contributing, although it doesn't excuse some of my actions, he is taking equal responsiblity for damage and the repairing that is now going on.

So. I am grateful for being sober, though some days I still cannot get the beast out of my head, I am strong enough to fight it off. I am grateful for my husband recommitting to loving me the way I should be loved. I am grateful for all my friends at MWO who held my hand and comforted me thru what was the darkest period of my life. I will never head back to the dark side!!

Love
Lynn

Wonderful news, done. As great as this place is, we have to remember the people in our lives. Relationships take constant work, just like gardens, to flourish. Hubs and I too are working on our marriage, and I have already seen such an improvement. I'm so happy to hear from you, and hope you'll pop in and give us occasional updates! :hug:

I was happy to read your post. Me and my wife getting on really good now after months of distance caused by my drinking. She has been forgiving/understanding and since AF there is new romance and passion between us, all very exiting and part of recovery. Lots of guilt about months comatose each evening and shouting at the kids, but we can get through and I guess that is all part of the recovery too.
