      I have been your wife.. it is the hardest thing ever to deal with, but she will deal with it – my partner is doing what you did – going to meetings, he desperately wanted help and he got it and hes doing so well and its made us even stronger.

      I am so proud of him now and if you get through this and come out the other side youll both be stronger than ever.

      Dont take what she says personally, I used to get angry and say horrible things as i didnt understand. I didnt mean it though, i was just hurting.

      What help are you seeking? how much were you using? how long have you been clean? does she have support?

      Thank you for you comments.

      Today is a better day we have talked and discussed where we go from here. It is very difficult to u sweat and the damage I have caused but I see the pain and how angry she is at me.

      I’ve been using heavily for the last 6 months with my longest clean time being about 2 weeks. As of recent, I have been using every few days. Once I start I simply cannot stop myself.

      I’m doin meeting and have a sponsor and I’m going through the steps. I know what I have to do and just be honest with myself. You reached my “rock bottom” and it’s life or death for me now.

      My wife cannot believ me and we have agreed that I cannot go back home until I get a clean drug test and I have a month to do this.

      This is my last and final chance and I am not going to waste it.

      My wife like other spouses of addicts really go through it and I’ve put her through hell. It’s disgusting what it does

      It is and i feel for you – you never chose to be an addict, its not something you choose its a disease, its so so heartbreaking and i really do feel for you.

      Good luck – your wife will be ok, you can do this, I can tell you want it.

      come on here and chat if you need to.

      wishing you lots of strength xxx you and your wife

      You just keep focussing on staying clean. You seem to be doing all the right things. I wish my son was doing the same but as he is not in contact don’t know. It’s good that you have spoken to your wife now and I really hope that you are both able to work it out together. I wish you loads and loads of luck with your recovery.
