It's been awhile
So I didn't throw my RAH out when he relapsed again. I made myself believe the first relapse was only a lapse and made excuses because he was honest with me. Well, he was good for a few days and then things went down hill for a week. I did not kick him out. He's now back in a suboxone clinic and i'm not monitoring or checking up on him.
I have stayed in my own lane. I am down over 50lbs from January and am really proud of myself and my healthy progress. It's isn't about getting skinny but being healthy. I have stuck with my commitments and log all my food that I have eaten for over 9 months. I have kept all my self promises. I also take care of my kids and they are happy and thriving.
I have to say that i'm not sure why I went through my difficult time without the support of this forum. I know that my entire life with him is a risk. Yet, divorcing him or leaving him, I just can't imagine. I worry about this killing him. I still protect myself. Nothing has gone missing, he's helping tremendously in the home and with our kids and financially. I guess i'm just hoping things work out. Moving forward.

Dear KeepinItReal,
Cheers to your healthy choices! You, my friend, are such an inspiring example of taking care of YOU first, then your dear RAH. It feels good to feel love and hope and be a family on solid ground. It WAS worth it.
Hugs,
TF

Congratulations on your weight loss...I have finally been able to do something similar amidst the addicts in my life--most current an AD on heroin. I didn't know if that was something healthy for me...but find that I enjoy eating healthier and not 'losing it' when the active addiction is there. I have held firm on that and perhaps...you helped me see...this is part of the self care that so many have encouraged for me over the years...but which I simply couldn't seem to do for longer term. God Bless...and grateful for your post.
