I first came to this forum a bit over two years ago. I did come back and update a month or two ago. I would say I lurk here every so often. I need to remember how bad it was a few years ago so I make sure I follow through with my goals to be independent financially just in case. So far my addict/alcoholic husband has been working his program and has stayed sober, but I need to remember that forever is a long time and there are no promises with the general situation we collectively find ourselves in.
