Need Prayers ASAP

[luvslife81]

[size="4"]I got on methadone really bad and I quit cold turkey after being on it for 2 1/2 years. Coming off of it caused a lot of mental and emotional problems. I cheated on my wonderful husband. Something I never would have done if I wouldn't have been on methadone. I never thought about it or even did it before I got on it. Anyway, we've had good days and bad days. He wants to cheat on me to get back at me for hurting him. I hurt too, maybe not as bad as he did but I've beat myself up for it repeatedly. I've even been fighting myself from having an eating disorder. I don't have one yet but when I eat I have the urge to vomit. My husband told me tonight that he wasn't happy and that I didn't know how close he was from separating. Not divorcing but separating. Of course, I don't want that. I want my happy family back. I prayed for guidance today and to walk a straighter line. If anyone has any advice please feel free to share it. Have a great day [SIZE]

Have no experience with methadone or marriage but I can offer my support in prayer.

Thanks for your prayers. I know that's all I need. I try to keep a journal of my feelings and how my day goes but it's hard to write in it every day especially when you have a sick child. Thanks again!

Hello and welcome to SR. You've come to the right place. I will pray for you to find your way out of the problems you are facing. This being a Christian forum, I will also pray that you will find comfort and guidance from God to direct your life on a better path.

We have several forums here that may be of interest to you. Please check the Forums Jump window at the lower right of the page. At the top of each forum is a list of sticky threads with specific information that is recommended for newcomers to read.

The preferred form of sharing here on SR is to offer from our own experience, so I won't give advice....I can't know or decide what another person needs to do. In the specific forums you will find many, many people who have shared similar experience and are more than willing to share how it was for them, what they did or do to help and how their lives have changed for the better.
What I do for my own recovery is attend Alanon meetings and come here.

Thanks for stopping by, it's nice to meet you.

I know I need to go to meetings but sometimes I just don't have the time. This week my son has been sick and my husband is close to separating. I'm trying very hard to show him that I am changing but it just takes time. Does it get easier to fight the urges to use?

Hey Luvs life I will pray for you.

Your are going through a rough time but with God there is always hope. To get through these tough times God must be the number one priority in your life.

A great verse is "Do not WORRY about ANYTHING...instead PRAY about EVERYTHING! Tell God your needs and don't forget to Thank Him for His answers." (Phil 4:6)

Just keep putting your trust in God. Don't give up it gets easier with time.

Hey luvs,
Great advice.. Leaning on God during this time is so important. But not only during this time, but all the time. Keep praying, and when you get those urges, pray, and keep praying. Pray through them, because they do pass.
They will lessen with time, and God can help you with them.

Do you have a church? It would be really great if you could seek out a minister to talk with, or a church counselor. I attend Celebrate Recovery meetings. The meetings have helped me tremendously. Some churches offer babysitters for some meetings. You could call around and see what they offer in your area.

I will be praying for you. Your husband is understandibly hurt right how. We hurt the people we love when we are caught in our addictions. I know, I did things too. It all takes time to sort out, and to show that we are changing, that we are trustworthy again. We have to re-earn that trust. We hurt our spouses terribly when we do the things we did. But it will get better, that I can tell you, no matter what way it goes, if you just trust in God, and keep doing the right things, no matter what.

God Bless,

Becky

Hello luvslife81

Our words tend to become void of truth in the ears of others after we give away the trust they had in us. The best thing we can do from that point on is make our every action be an example of our commitment to gain back that trust.
Do the next right thing...daily, every moment.
Let your actions be your words.

A marriage can survive an affair and grow stronger then ever. Counseling and meetings can help things get back on track faster. Meetings will help you and counseling will help you both as well as your relationship with each other.
It can work out. It will take effort but it is worth it.
Prayer and meetings will get you past the desire for the meth. Counseling will help mend the broken parts of your marriage.

Prayers are with you.
