Thank you Ann! :ghug3

Just an update - My husband got right back up and is still working on his recovery. He seems to be more committed then I have seen in a long time. He has a new sponsor, checks in with him daily and doing what he is "told" to do. In addition, he saw his therapist for around 1 1/2 hrs yesterday. I still have not met him, but in time, I look forward to it.

Ironically, I shared with my husband today - MY failures in my own recovery. I started to cry and verbally "beat myself up' and he was very comforting and supportive. I was surprised to find out how much he knew and/or retained about my codependency. He offered some suggestions but gave no unsolicited advise.

We are walking together and doing a whole body detox/cleansing for 10 days. I am glad I now see how important it is that my own recovery must be separated from his!! I will not fall into the same trap of "if he is ok, I am ok." My issues and recovery do not depend on his.
