So Here We Are,

[Waiting for his way out]

At the end of the initial phase of the program. Mid-November was the magical time my hubby asked me to wait until, until things got better and life turned around.
Well, next week it is Thanksgiving in the US and minus a couple of hick-ups or steps back we MADE it.
I must admit I was very doubtful, but I am pleasantly surprised at the results. We went from the end of the world and the end of our relationship to a promising future together.
I know this is not all good and all better, I know there will be times when things will be difficult, but also know they will be shorter and less painful.
For all of you who are Waiting for your loved one to find their way, I wanted to share my hubby's success. In the past 7 weeks he went back once to his vodka. It is 7 weeks more than he ever did in 14 years. I am hanging in there.. you hang in there also.
Best of luck.

So Here We Are,

I am sleeping, I am not crying, I am not screaming, I am only looking for that hidden bottle twice a week, not twice a day (I am not perfect yet)
I am in my own recovery path to find internal peace. I say "bring it on life and AL" I am stronger now, I can beat you. sh.. I am crying again.

So Here We Are,

Hey, sometimes crying is good....it gets it all out.
You are doing so well. I dont think I would have had your patience and courage to deal with anything like this

So Here We Are,

It was like living in a movie for the past 3 years. Nothing seemed real, I can't ever remember all the dates and places, just the events in great detail.
I could not have made this far with all the help I found here. It is my Oasis.

So Here We Are,

I just got back on the site and found all your wishes, thank you so much. Thanksgiving was nice and quiet and cold, just the way we wanted it.
BUT, here comes that BUT... This week has not been so great, found another little bottle hidden with vodka. There is no why or reason, just because. He tells me not to make a big deal out of it.. oh sure, easy for him to say. it is easier to sweep the event under the rug rather than dealing with what happened.
Today I am very angry and I feel like just giving up on everything, . I am sorry, but I am just so tired of giving one more chance again and again.
Taking deep breaths and hoping we get back on track.
