hello,i dont know where to begin.my wife had this site on the computer,on favorites.i never deleted it,but felt bad.i am an alcoholic.however for about a year and a half i havent been drinking,actually about a handful of times at night iwould nip at some vodka to try and get to sleep,which didnt do any good.my wife may or may not visit this site anymore i dont know.i have the most beautiful wife inside and out.seven beautiful children.we have been blessed with them.from 29 to 6.beautiful and healthy.about a year and a half ago my wife tossed me out.ehen aftr alot of misery,thank GOD she took me back.i bought a computer,gaming computer.and started playing online gaming (not gambling)but online battlefield,in a world war II style.anyways,my wife bought me a computer desk,how thoughtful.but here is where it gets bad.i dont know if any one has ever played those competitive games but your playng against other people.they could be 15 or 70,lots of people play it.after awhile my wife would say i dont want you to play that silly game,and i asked why.i said i dont golf,playsoftball or any other hobby.she said your almost 50 years old its a kids game.well i thought she was just irritated with it.but i must say the time goes by fast.all hours of the night.neglecting her and me.she threw me out again,and im so terribly sorry,i didnt listen.when we should be nurturing and cherishing each other.i love her so much.the only thing i ever want to be addicted to GOD,my wife and my kids.and iam.we have been together for 24 years.and she is my breath.my motivator,when she is with me i can do anything,we havent communicated very well at all in the last 6 mos,before she kicked me out last month.i just want her back and show her how much i really love her.and stop neglecting the most important people in my life.my family.so dont get addicted to games,booze,anything that can hurt your family.lost in love         so ruby_slippers let me borrow your shoes and click them 3 times.because there is no place like home.

its not worth losing everything that means everything.

Yes, addictions of any kind can tear a family apart. 


I hope someday my beloved husband can find his way to sobriety, but that is his business not mine. I have to do what I have to do in order to take care of myself.


 


May HP bless you, your wife, and your children. 


Blessings are ours for the asking.


 


In recovery,


Becky1

Here are some things that have helped me since in the program.



  • Go face to face meeting & online meeting.

  • post on the board here on the site. I have gotten a lot of good feed back.

·        Set support system.  people do not judge. You need someone who can go for coffee on a bad day, or pick up a phone and call when in trouble. The support is what is important when you first this program.



  • Have a sponsor. Someone work one on one with you.

You don’t have to do this the minute u come to the program but I suggest that u do it when u can. It help.
