I'm feeling a lot of support from you all tonight. I know I need to end my relationship after another relapse which is ongoing, massive lack of trust and loss of hope that he will ever get well.I'm so so sad, scared and feel utterly broken and exhausted. I'm hopelessly in love with a man who has so many problems but i've realised he's not for me to fix. If after 15 years of relapse after relapse his recovery is unlikely. He's too lazy to do the work, resents having his illness and is just too good at talking the talk.

So sorry. It always helps me to re-read the stickies at the top of the page.

It's a very exhausting disease. I hope you get some peace.

Sending you support and hugs!

So this may be the time to do quiet, gentle, soothing things for yourself. Little things, pampering things, things that remind you and reassure you that you are worth caring about and there is life worth living beyond this relationship.

You can take as much time as you need to repair your exhaustion, replenish your energy, and nourish yourself so that you are ready to take the next decision, the next step.

Thanks guys. A restless sleep and a jolt of reality hitting again this morning. I've had to stay off work as I'd be a liability. I'm going to see a couple of close friends and take my beloved horse for a ride. Xx
