Prayers For My Soon To Be Ex Wife - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

22NGONE · 03-12-2008, 12:07 PM

Hello All,

My full story is in the newcomers section but just wanted to say I have been sober for 37 days and am asking for all of your prayers that my wife who is divorcing me after 22 years of marriage (and 25 years together), may some day whether now or years from now find the ability to open her heart to me again. I know she still loves me but to show her I love her I know I must let her go.

John

No matter what she does...keep working on your recovery.
Just over 2 years of separation and me finding recovery, we got back together.
With God all things are possible.

Prayers for you both.

hi John,

Welcome! I pray you can stay on the right tract. congrats on your 37 days! I have 54 days today. I pray that eventually the Lord will reconcile you both. In the mean time you just work on being the best John you can be. How is your recovery going?

Blessings, Sheila

After coming to recovery, God has rebuilt many bridges that I burned.

Nothing is impossible with God.

God is still doing for me what I could not do for myself...........toad

thanks all, I really appreciate your kind thoughts and prayers

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. I know that by letting her go and praying for her well being that I am also helping myself and doing God's will, not my own.

Thanks again, I love this site.

Miracles happen every day. I know in my case the words were just noise - it was the consistent positive ACTIONS that made a difference.

Prayers for you both
