My RAH has been sober for 2 years now. 8 I'm so proud of him. I'm also and mainly proud of me because even if he is clean, I still consider myself in recovery.

I though that if he was clean, it would solve everything; I though HE was the only problem in our relationship. Of course his addiction would create chaos in our life, but only because I allowed it to happen.

Maybe I look a little bit more grumpy sometimes, but nobody stepping on my toes anymore.

I want to thank you all at SR because you were here when I needed it the most. I still read you and I keep those of you that are suffering in my prayers. Never forget :

Good for both of you for taking care of your recovery and moving forward.

I'm sending big hugs to both of you.

Thanks you all for your great words.

Greeteachday, my kids are doing so well. My daughter suffered so much because of her dad addiction, she would not even allow him to kiss her at one point. She is doing better, of course there is still some trust issue with her dad but I expect it can only improve. I would be worried in fact if her dad was to relapse.

My son never knew addiction. My RAH was clean for over 9 month when we had him. I pray everyday that it will stay that way. He still has that innocence that my daughter never had. I think she was feeling responsible for my happiness wich should never happen to any child.

Frankly don't worry, I still worry about everyone I don't see on SR in a true codie way too!!!

So glad for both you, your husband and your family, Little.

And so glad you are still doing the recovery thing. I'm going to do it till the day I die. My life tends to work better that way.

Hugs,
