Hello there! WOOOO on your recovery!

:bounce:bounce:bounce

The only time I hear "run for the hills" on this forum is when the addict is in denial and is obviously using. In otherwords, their actions are pointing to some very disturbing behavior.

As someone who is still in a relationship with her recovering husband (meth was his drug of choice), I can tell you that with the right person, it can work. I'm not trying to sugar coat things. It's been a hard road and even though it's been almost 2 years now (of his sobriety), we're still picking up some of those pieces in terms of residual guilt on his part and trust issues on mine.

The only piece of advice I will offer (I know it's w/o you asking for it) is to be 100% honest. If you slip, tell him. Get help ASAP. Don't hide it. Hiding it and lying about it was the worst for me and it broke our trust down to a thread. It's been built up considerably since.

Anyway, grats again on the sobriety! Light and love to you.
