aching

It has been a while since I have been here. I had some MAJOR break downs on this site. It was a life saver to me. I forget about that sometime. My addict and I are doing really well. He's been clean for almost 16 months, he's still involved in drug court and we got engaged a few months ago.

I know that is so hard for some people to understand. Why would I bind myself to such a question mark? The answer is I love him and he's doing so so well. I am constantly proud of him.
Anyway I just wanted to say hi, and give you all an update.
We're getting married one year from today. He'll have 28 months by then, if all goes well.


Much love,
Nikki

Nikki, some of us do change. Granted, most do not, but some of us do. I have been clean for about 18 months, and my wife and I are expecting our 3rd child. This is a real biggy for me, because it means she trusts me enough to have another child with me.

Its another chance for me to be a better father than I was to my twop giurls. I was high most of there early years. However, I feasture again. I am included in pictures they draw of the family. I was absent in them before. They love me around, and are trusting me again.

So its possible. Its not easy, my wife sometimes questions her sanity of living with an addict. One relapse is all it could take.

But it is possible.
Thanks for the positive post.
