Not sure how many people are here who remember me.
I went overseas for a while and didnt' get to computers or MIP. But I am back from my holiday.
Things went quite well. My husband and I had a lovely holiday together, with the addict only coming out to visit when we went to Amsterdam (he is a pot addict for those how don't remember me).
Other than that... all good.
For those who have been here a while.... a year ago this month I gave myself the time to grow and learn and see where my life went. I made an agreement with myself that I would stay with my husband and be happy with that decision... I wouldn't try to take the road of 'leaving' until I knew if the grass would be greener or not. I knew if I left for greener grass... I was still the lawn poison... or weed killer
Well..... it has been a year. On reassessment, I am happy. The drug problem in our house has changed, and it will change again when he relapses as I know he will. He is an addict, that is what they do. He has never said he is quitting.. he just isn't using right now except for an occassional one (that is using I know)
I am happy, I am in love with my husband and I intend to stay married. I may reassess that at some stage in the future near or far but I am glad I gave myself that year to see where things went.
Aloha and welcome back Oksie...you haven't been gone that looooong. Good for you setting yourself up in acceptance. Hope you're doing face to face meetings...Stay a part of the program. ((((hugs))))
Welcome back Oksie! I am so happy to see your program work for you! We have alot in common. My soon to be ex husband is a pot addict. My father is an alcoholic. Send me a PM anytime.
It is good to see you back and good to hear your recovery is strong. It sounds like you have some good serenity. Some days I feel like I've got that, some days less so!
