I found this forum when my meth addicted husband was in prison. He had gotten into trouble, went to jail, but got probation. Because of continued failed drug tests (couldn't stay away from the meth) his prison sentence was activated. Before this, he had been to 3 rehabs. I thought each time .. this will change him. I thought if I just stood by him and did this or that, he would change. Thanks to this site, reading all the wonderful posts of support, and by me reading books recommended here... like co-dependant no more... when he came home from prison and relapsed over and over again... I was able to end it. I wanted a better life for my kids and for me.

It took calling 911 and them helping make him leave... he was drunk too and acting violent. He moved on with a girl he met at the drug dealers. They have a baby now. He was jobless when he left and from what I hear still is. My son was in the hospital and he showed up. His face looks funny from the meth. Like he's had a stroke or something. He talks like a cartoon character. It is sad.

We had been separated a little over three years when
I prayed for a boyfriend for Christmas last year. I had a list of what I wanted in a man and of course there were things I didn't want...

We had out 1st date the day before Christmas Eve. My divorce went through the first of May. My ex got served on his birthday. Ha! My new husband and I got married in June. He is wonderful. And is an answer to everything on my "list". After all I've been through with the ex, it's hard to believe things can be this good. There is hope! Keep the faith!

It's amazing how much life can change in a relatively short period of time. Having a loving, kind, HEALTHY, non-addicted husband is like night and day isn't it? I'm happy for you! May you enjoy many joyful years with your new husband!
