Hi im sharon and Im an alcoholic.

My husband and I ended a 25yr.
marriage several yrs. ago.

A few al-anon meetings and
the word dettachment was
learned and that was it of
his recovery program.

I know he didnt ask to be
married to an alcoholic and
all the baggage that came
with it.

I myself didnt come to terms
with my disease until 7 yrs
into the marriage and family
stepped in with an intervention.

I went thru a 28 day rehab
program and continued on
my journey a day at a time
changing all along the way.

We brought 2 awesome kids
into the world whom are adults
now and living a normal happy
productive life with no consequences
from our dysfunction family.

Thank God..!

For myself, i grew, changed and
moved on leaving my little family
scratching their head as to what
happened to their mom and dads
marriage.

We grew apart due to little
communication, understanding,
support, appreciation etc.

I too have seen over the yrs.
both couple living happy with
an awesome recovery program
as their solid foundation in
their marriage.

When one is sick in the family,
the entire family is affected and
therefore a program for each is
available to live healthy and
happy together.
