Introducing myself/new here
Introducing myself/new here
Hello everyone,
After lurking for awhile I have decided to somewhat come out of my cave. I am not quite ready to go into too much detail about my situation. My dh is an alcohalic. He has been for about 5 years of our 9 year marriage. He went through treatment. Stayed sober for 1.5 years and relapsed last September. It has been a rollar coaster ride for me since then and right now I am ready to get off this ride. I don't know how much more I can take. I feel so alone and I can't believe my life has turned out this way. To write this out is actually helping tremendously. Thank you all for your listening.

Welcome!!!
Just having people to talk to who are in the same situation, and who don't judge or tell you what to do or tell you it's your fault is huge. There's a lot of wisdom among the folks here -- I don't post much, but I come here to listen and learn very often. I think you'll find a lot of support here.

Hey H + D, Welome to SR !!!!
Finding this pace was the result of a desperate puter search for someplace, anyplace I could find out I wasn't losing my marbles,,,lol. Its comforting to know there are others out there who have, are or will, experience some of the things I've gone through with the A in my life.
Go at your own pace sweetie. Theres people here 24/7
Reading the "sticky's" at the top of the page is a good place to start, if you haven't already done so.
But most of all keep posting/reading.
Peace

Hopefully you'll find strenght, wisdom + support here and in alanon. My son being an addict is the worst; what I've learned through working the 12 steps is the best. often addiction is the DEAL BREAKer in a relationship cause there is no way of feeling good about it or any way to understand how someone could choose substance over you. It is baffling so we have to understand ourselves and progress on our journey in life w/o the addict
welcome H + D! please keep writing, and posting and let the wise, wonderful, kind people here help you - i can't tell you how much i have come to rely on their support over the last few months. take your time, educate yourself about alcoholism and your options....the path will be made clear to you eventually, YOUR path....looking forward to getting to know you.
welcome to a place where you can find serenity, sanity, support, advice, comfort, help...i could go on and on. oh and, lots of wonderful people
