I did it and yes all of us can!!!!!
This is my 9th day no drugs no alcohol no mood changers whatsoever. ... totally sober... and I can say I'm really proud of myself!!
I had the worst crave ever yesterday which lasted for almost 3 hours knowing that the biggest urge to use shouldn't last for more than 30 mnts, and on the last part of my crave I had a fight with my wife on the phone which made things even harder. I went wrong by not telling her abt my crave fearing that this would depress her and make her panic, I know how not healthy it is by not sharing these moments I finally called a friend 'sponsor' who's been sober for 11 years to tell him what I've been experiencing, and I posted on SR
I passed by a church and prayed it did help in a way.
Another issue I've been experiencing is the fights with my wife we also had a fight today I feel like she's asking me more than I can give right away....'she wants me to go to the gym but I'm still recovering from my last relapse' I dont know what I should do the fights with her are disturbing and this is the least thing I need now...
Anyways thank you all for your support...

You're doing GREAT!!!!
Maybe it's time for a grownup, planned talk with your wife, when both of you are cooled off and rational instead of emotional, to talk about what each of you needs and where you're willing to compromise to meet each other halfway, i.e. she wants you to go to the gym -- how about a nice brisk walk together instead? Something like that.
