Just saying hello and mainly thanks to you all
I just joined this helpful site after studying it for three years. You guys have been so helpful in my recovery from my addiction to my soon to be EXAH . It has been a long ride - 22 years of marriage. What kept me stuck was the seven sober years in the middle. It has been a roller coaster ride - the last 3 years - and I came out of denial ever so slowly. This disease nearly broke my spirit , but thanks to my HP , AL ANON , two therapists and you guys I made a turn - around and started looking after myself and our 3 children. To start to take responsibility for my own welfare was difficult as I was consumed by my husband's problems. It takes faith , courage and perseverance but I am getting better one day at a time. THANK YOU !

And what a lurker I have been - totally hooked I have become to this forum. Hope in future I can mean as much to all the lurkers out there who is still in hiding from the world and themselves.
If I could become so much better - scared person I was - anybody who wants it, can become better.
The process of letting go was terrifying as I had to put new behaviours in place as I went along. I cried for a year it seems now as I look back. The reward is kicking in with my self-esteem growing day after day.
AH still manages to pull wool over my eyes as we go along in divore , but now it does not 3 days to realise it ,LOL !
