You and your husband will be in my thoughts and prayers! I hope he is able to get clean and stay clean.

MissPinkBarbie · 11-16-2007, 05:59 PM

I'm so sorry to hear this! Addiction is serious and change ppl.. Sometimes you need that extra push to go in the right direction to recovery..

He might not realize how much he's hurting others [his wife & children, friends, family] by his use of drugs ...I cannot begin to imagine how you're feeling right now. Be strong, for him, for your kids and more importantly-for yourself.

Yall will definately be in all our prayers..and I hope he gets better soon!

I have had the problem of a brother and a husband being alcholics! I had to see my brother go through Dt's whe!n I was 16! It is not easy at all!
I will be thinking of you and keep your family in my prayers!
One thing an Aunt told me ,in a rough time in my life-
God will not put more on your shoulders than you can bear to carry!
You are a stong person! Keep your faith! Pray, Pray,Pray!

Yorkiesforever · 11-16-2007, 06:41 PM

Oh I am so sorry!!!!!!!!My prayers are coming your way. I pray for strength for you and your children and for recovery for your husband. He can do it. You can do it.

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 11-16-2007, 07:04 PM

You & your husband & family are and will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Our family is struggling with addiction this year....we have a family member that is in this battle. Addiction is truely a disease....not a choice......and it is a disease that effects the entire family. Please seek out an Al-Anon program....you will need the additional support system. You have had some excellent advise and information. Know that you have friends here that will keep you in our/their thoughts & prayers!!

saphire · 11-16-2007, 09:29 PM

Keep your strength up and your head held high. You are doing a great job.
Still praying for you. We are here whenever you need us.

newmommy · 11-16-2007, 11:11 PM

thanks everyone. i had to go to my doctor four hours away for my 4 week post op appt.

im going to bed but first I will be on my knees praying for my husband. I love him so much and I cannot wait to see him on monday. im so excited. in the 6 years we have been together we have never went this long without at least a phone conversation.

I talked to his counsler and he said he is doing great. he has opened up more than he thought he would a lot quicker than it usually takes. he said he is going to make things right and he knows the children and I have been hurting. please please continue the prayers, i know they work!!!!

IluvLucy · 11-17-2007, 05:09 AM

That's good news! It sounds like he's really trying to get straightened out.

If God leads you to it, he'll lead you thru it..............

patty58 · 11-17-2007, 06:33 AM

Just checking in again to let you know hugs and prayers still coming your way. Patty

Yorkiekids · 11-17-2007, 08:39 AM

Just wanted to see how you were holding up. Hang in there. Make sure he goes to NA after he gets out. It will help a lot. If they have open meetings go with him for support.

Beckyhebert · 11-17-2007, 09:16 AM

I have not been through this in my immediate family . But have lost a brother in law to drug (Rx pills and meds.) but have a success story of a recovering 33 yr old nephew from crack . He found Jesus and has turned his life around. I will pray for you and your family that God will be gracious and bless your family with healing. There are lots of good books out there to help you. Shattered Dreams is an excellent one. Hang in there and never give up.
God will take you through this .

ryorkies · 11-17-2007, 09:41 AM

I hope you are feeling a bit more confident as the days have passed and that things are beginning to look a bit brighter too.
At times in my life I have felt like I was surrounded with people who have had substance abuse problems...whether it be with alcohol, or drugs and at times it was just so overwhelming. It is a HUGE step that your husband agreed to treatment, as many of those I knew refused and it was just so painful to watch the decline of that loved friend, or family member.
If there is anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to count on me. I wish you peace and I hope your husband appreciates all the love it took for you to take this step with him.
Sometimes it takes a village for support and you certainly have that here with us.

newmommy · 11-17-2007, 10:27 AM

he called me he called me he called me.

all i could do is bawl and tell him that i love him.

the counsler called to tell me that i can come for thanksgiving. he is supposed to let him have no phone calls at all but only for certain circumstances and he let him talk to me for 1 minute about my post op appt yesterday.
it was the best minute of my week. I cannot wait to see him on monday. I love him so much. his voice oh god his voice.

thank the good lord for guiding us through this. his love is pure and i am soo thankful !!

MissPinkBarbie · 11-17-2007, 10:30 AM

Oh, I'm so happy for you! You sound much happier now that you've spoken to him!

Stay strong girl! Still in our thoughts & prayers...
