(((90210))) - one of the things I learned from the great people here is to look out for myself. Then, no matter what anyone else does, or doesn't do, I know I'll be okay.
I know I put my loved ones through he!! when I was using, but I've worked hard to make amends. Ten years from now? I plan on working my recovery, just as I do today, and taking life as it comes - the good and the bad. I have no guarantees, but I do know what I need to do to keep on "recovery road".
NONE of us know what the future holds. We could get with someone who's great and then shows "the other side". I really do believe that as long as we are okay with the choices we make and put ourselves first? We'll be okay. It doesn't mean we won't go through hard times, but it does mean that we have the resources to get through them.
You are learning more about the risks of loving an addict and what recovery entails. Having that knowledge is a good thing
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
