Oki Doki....Help me with this.

[nutz]

It's been peaceful again this weekend.lmaf
Anywho...The green eyes monster made it home , from a gambling bendge.

She's been admiiting...slowly, ever so slowly.
The **** been hitting the fan left and right.
But she's been at this stage before. " I need Help"

There's No GA in my area. I've reserch and reserch
There's GA in Palm Springs, SD, and YUMA.
But damn casino is on the out skirt of each citys of course.
Yes...I'm an addict...We never made it into SD for years,
with our weekend get away plans.

She's also an alki.
That's the peoblem, when she gose to AA. Her sponsor,
doctor, other members. Tells her it's okey, just as long as she
dosn't drink. NA in our area is weak...1 year ESH, just a couple of peaple
with that much committment or recovery. Everybody else
are newbies, 90 days wonder or right out of rehab.
so it's just about " woo hooo...I did'nt get high today"..then total silence.

Honestly Help ,Me what do I do ?

Nutz, as a codie my recovery has taught me that there is really nothing you can do to change her, until she is willing to change herself. You can encourage her, but don't hold expectations, and you can say a prayer for her and turn it all over to your Higher Power.

That's not to say that you cannot protect yourself. Perhaps keeping your money separate from hers would ensure that you could still pay the bills and look after things and not experience financial problems yourself because of her addiction. Codies have learned to sleep with their bank cards, car keys, and valuables under their pillow. That's pretty sad, but not as sad as losing everything we have to addiction.

I'm sorry for both of you, having another addiction creep in can be difficult to accept and overcome.

Hugs
Ann
