I'm just want to be happy again. I'm sick and tired of being depressed. I think in a way, Methadone numbed some emotions , and now those emotions are back and it's tough to deal with...

Jazz alot as to do with my wife...well separated wife, it was tough to deal with while on methadone, but almost unbearable now that I'm off. I'm going to therapy on Tuesday. But I think a heart to heart is coming soon we will need to figure out which way things are going to go. If it's just not going to work out, then I think we need to head in that direction, so I can hit rock bottom and hopefully pull my self back up (with alot of help from friends and family), on the other hand, maybe i'll get lucky and we can start from the bottom and see where it takes us. I don't think I can take her living in the basement for too much longer when there are some raw feelings and emotions that will not go away as long as she's there.

I know that she likes being close to her son, but I think we all 3 deserve to be happy. And it's just beginning to be too much for me to handle on the inside. I do not think I'll ever get better as long as she's living there, unless we atleast give it a shot at trying to get better....baby steps...that's all I'm asking.

I realize I made some huge mistakes during our relationship, and I think me just letting her walk out the door that night over 8 months ago was a mistake. She gave me hints that she wanted me to convince her to stay, but I wasn't there enough mentally to realize it and just let her walk on out.

Jazz I'm glad you had someone with you during your process. I'm sure it made it alot easier , versus doing alone....not that I've been alone though this, I've had support, but not the companion support that I really needed, or need now rather.

I'm sure I'm making it out to be worse that what it really is....

Something good to happen in my life is way over due and hopefully something will give soon.

I did overcome a very powerful drug dependency, but as of right now, it's not making want to jump for joy.

I think it's pretty common for everyone to have trouble dealing with emotions and regrets and even depression once they enter recovery, snowman.

Doesn't make it any easier knowing that tho...

Have you got people to talk to?

Your right it doesn't make it easier and I know it's a phase that hopefully wont take to big of a toll on me.

I have been seeing a therapist but there is really only so much she can do.
