At the moment we seem to be doing ok, I attended one of my partners meetings with him to give myself a better understanding. Listening to people’s stories similar to ours and hearing that they have been clean for years has given me hope. He seems to have taken it upon himself to distance himself from he’s family and this has helped tremendously. He’s concentrating on meetings and is now in regular contact with he’s sponsor. I’m under no illusions that this will never happen to us again and I don’t even know how I’ll react if it does I’ve just got to have hope, we have two children and he never uses around them and he’s a amazing father but I can’t live on eggshells for the rest of my life not being able to say what I really feel in case it causes him to relapse again but I need to know I’ve tried absolutely everything I can. If you don’t mind me asking does your partner often attend meetings and get clean then relapse? It seemed impossible for him to separate from family but like I said it seems he is trying and I guess as long as they want it enough and take the right steps it can be done. I’ve spoken to people now that have been clean for years and had to leave people behind xx
