Absolutely I love my husband and my child. I love my child more than I feel I could ever love myself. Even in my active addiction (which was not too long ago as I am early into my recovery), I did love my husband.
Although we have had many, many problems in our marriage, I made a commitment to him that I fully intend to keep. My addiction certainly have caused problems between the two of us but after I stopped drinking in July 09, he was never aware of my addiction to pain pills/benzos.
I honestly cannot say that I am "happily" married but the underlying reasons for that have nothing to do with my addiction. It runs much deeper than that.I am determined to make it work for the sake of our child.
Anyways I have gotten off topic (insert my shocked face :O, lol ) but the main point being, I believe that it is different for everyone.
