Hi "anxious wife,"
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I was worried no one would respond, but I really needed to write down my thoughts somewhere. I'm so sorry to hear you are in a similar situation. I am at the point where I understand and ACCEPT that this is not the life I want for myself. But, I have a difficult time not "day-dreaming" of the life I would like to have if he gets sober.
I was considering sending him an email asking him not to contact me for a certain period of time, and if after that time frame he was still sober and had a program in place, we could speak on the phone. What do you think though? Is it better to use this time now to fully heal and attempt to cut ties completely? Again, I would rather have him in my life as a friend than nothing at all.
Hugs,
