I finally did it...........

[Lily]

I told my husband this morning. He didn't know about my most recent struggles. (last he knew I hadn't had issues for over a year) However this past Friday I blew it and my tooth was hurting and I called in and got 10 T-3's which led me to a relapse as well as totally wiggin' out on him back to back friday night and saturday AM over insignificant stupid stuff.... which normally would not have been that huge.

This morning I confessed and he showed nothing but love towards me and he thanked me for telling him and how things make more sense now. This now has in turned opened a door for me to go to a women's meeting tomorrow while he watches Jonathan and I don't have to sneak around anymore on these boards or meetings, etc.... I was just so ashamed and I know we are only as sick as our secrets.

So today I have much to be grateful, I have 5 days clean and a husband who I shared with who still loves me and is praying for me.

What a wonderful example of how the truth sets us free.

Good for you.

Hi Sheila !
"For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from Gods Love. Death can't and life can't. The angels won't and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God's love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, or where we are - high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean - nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us." - Romans 8,38

You have a very understanding, nice husband!

Be blessed and happy meeting!

Sheilla, sometimes truth can sometimes be bitter but we will do ourselves a lot of good if we tell it and damn the consequences. And oftentimes, the consequences we are thinking of is quite different from what actually happens.

Your story is uplifting and a lesson for all who want to save their marriage. Please keep it up and enjoy your marriage.

Congrats dear Sheila!!!!!

The truth does surely set us free....

And aspecial aside to riri:

Romans 8,38 is my favorite...nothing CAN separate us from the love of our Father,

the Son Jesus Christ who daily intercedes for us and the precious Holy Spirit.

You know..I used to be afraid of the Holy Spirit..until I learned in Romans that He

intercedes (prays) for us too..just like Jesus does..imagine that!
