Hi, thank you all for your comments.
I lost track of this site and could remember how to find it again.

Thank you for your kind words and concern, it has been quite a journey since then.

My husbands relapse did get out of control, I pretty much shut him off, we continued living under the same roof but barely saw each other with such different routines.

I was working, seeing friends and family and focusing on myself as the support advises.

He was ‘getting by’ continuing to just about work and using morning and night. He was aware I had no tolerance and was intentionally not engaging in with him under the influence.He became extremely low knowing the life of an addict is no life! He again booked himself into detox but there was a long wait. The weeks building up to detox he started attended NA meetings 3x per week and reading the NA bible and worked My on building a relationship hoping for a sponsor.

I have again decided to support him through detox.
Joan22 I appreciate your thoughts and I am thinking about the things you’ve said!!! You are right, we are still young and have a lift time ahead of us and I am seriously thinking about all options.
On this occasion I have again committed to stay with him and support him back into recovery due to his determination and commitment.

He is 4 days post detox, he has been to 4 NA meetings in 4 days and is living by the principle ‘just for today’ to help him stay clean each day.

What I’m wanting to know is, are there any success stories from family out there?
Has anyone supported a loved one through years and years of successful recovery?
