Hiya – yeah you are absolutely right it is time to start putting myself first.
I’m still on that rollercoaster where some days i feel better and hopefull in moving forward. Then other days my mind starts working overtime thinking about all the events, the what ifs, where is he etc. It’s crazy how your mind works. Had a cpl of positive days, but today has been the first time we have spoke and it has set me back / off track.
I think it would be easier to have no contact at all, but that is difficult when children are involved. To be fair he’s not committed to them at the minute anyway. Just pops up when it suits him.
Just got to keep plodding on.
I am happy to hear your husband is taking positive steps. I pray he continues on the long winding road to recovery.
I’m pleased you are also doing well and feeling much better. Just goes to show how clearing your mind from all the negativity can help your recovery.
You don’t realise how lost you are when you are caught up in it all. Its not until you loosen the grip with the addict that you see yourself again.
Fingers crossed you continue in this new direction. There is hope out there for your future and likewise mine if I keep moving forward!
Xx
