Hi all, I wrote back in March about cutting off the finances from my husband (search on "cutting off the finances" and just wanted to drop a line that I followed through with the "plan" I added to the end of the post, but pretty soon, I got lax, things got a bit better/then a bit worse, I didn't want to fight, I didn't want to be strong, etc., and now...we are back at square one again. This morning I removed his access to our money. I'm also working a second job now just to keep us afloat. God give me strength to not give it back to him. Ever. And to give me the strength to hold fast when he confront's me with my own short comings and weaknesses because I won't allow him to make me think they are relevent to this situation at hand.
Hope you are getting to meetings where you will find the love, support and strenght you need in order to deal with disease while taking care of yourself. We so easily ( myself included ) fall back into our old routines when things start ro when we think they start to get better. But remember this is a progressive disease that only gets worse until it is arrested. Keep the focus on you and what you need to do to survive and get healthy. Prayers your way Blessings
