I wanted my marriage to be one of
those success stories too, but it wasn't
meant to be. I was the one who entered
recovery at about 7 or 8 yrs. marriage and
we made it 25 yrs. marriage.
In recovery I did all I could do to the
best of my ability to remain sober in
which I did and have as Im 24yrs.
sober now. However, because I was
the only one in recovery, my spouse
saw no need for any kind of recovery
program in his life because he had no
addiction problems.
Soooo, we lacked communication and
understanding and it was like we were
living on 2 different plains which ended
our 25 yr. marriage.
Today, we are both remarried and im
5 yrs married living a remarkable, happy,
honest, healthy life with 24 yrs sobriety.
Of course this is just my experience.
