Hi,
My name is Leah and I have been a long time member of the SR friends and fam community. I was married to an addict. No need to go into the horrible details of things that happened with him, since we all know..an addict is an addict is an addict, right?
I separated from him in 2006 and after the separation (and much support from SR!) I sort of stepped away from all things related to addiction. I was overwhelmed by the thought of it and wanted to start a new life without any remembrance of what addiction had done to it.
Now, as time allows, i would like to take a step back in to help others who are in the shoes I was once in. Though I am no longer with the addict,and have done a lot of work to change my codependant ways,addiction will ALWAYS be a part of my life because it changed my life forever. (Most of it is a good change at this point, but the memories I have of it are not so good).
I can move on with my life, but I can't deny that part of it, therefor I want to use it to help others.
Nice to meet you all! =0))
