Me too! Though I'm mostly concerned about getting myself back right now, lol. I needed this break so very much.

You know, it's weird to me that I'm not anxious about how he's doing. I'm just glad he's somewhere with people more qualified than I am to deal with him. I'm enjoying the peace. I'm afraid he's messing with the wrong woman here, lol. I don't mind being on my own. The man I'll be missing has been gone for a while anyhow. The only thing that changed is that I no longer have a drug addict here. My husband disappeared a while back.
I am glad you are getting some peace and the anxiety level has lowered a bit for you. I hope you relax and enjoy some quiet time.
I know for me when I was fortunate enough to have this same kind of quiet time, no anxiety filled worry that I became rather complacent with it, let my guard down and was so not prepared for him returning home within a week. Yes he checked himself and wanted to rush back to his life and love……pills. At first he said he knew everything he had to do, would go to meetings, get a new sponsor because after all that’s what was part of most of his adult life. But so were drugs and relapses. He told me after he began obtaining pills again that he knew he didn’t have another recovery in him……..this time I finally believed him.
Always have your plan B, C, D, E, F, etc. in place and be prepared to follow through.
