Hi Ladies:

I am new to the fourm, but not to recovery I've been clean and sober for four years, and I am trying to make sence out of my relationship with my ex-husband. We love each very much, but he is not in recovery nor is he a born again christian. Please help.

Hi TWB,

Welcome and congratulations on your 4 sober years!

I found, when I became sober, many fundamental things in my life changed. My beliefs about myself changed. And, so of course, relationships change. My relationship with my husband changed too. You say he is your ex-husband. Are you working on getting back together or are you just trying to have a relationship as friends?

Welcome and congratulations on your sober time. I'm sure people with good advice will be along soon. Maybe you can try the Christians forum too.
