Well done Daz, I truly hope this is the beginning of the rest of your life. It worries me so much that kids dabble in this, not realising that it could take over your life.
My 18 year old daughter said she knows more people that do it, that don’t…. thats a shocking statistic! 18 years old with your whole life ahead of you, and you could f**k it all up, waste your money, become a slave to it, lie, cheat, turn into a different person…. and for what?
Stay strong, you have hurt your wife, she will need time. You have to remember that she has gone through this and if she takes you back too soon you’ll think you can do it again and she’ll just put up with it. You are doing the right things and you are doing a great job. Give her space, believe me, she wont be looking for a relationship, so dont worry about her getting with anyone else. She needs time to find herself again, living with an addict is exhausting and a massive headf**k.
Here if you need to talk about anything, and seriously, well done for taking these steps 🙂
