20 years clean. I know this well. It helped carry me through an interesting journey. Thanks for the reminder.
My husband still struggles but is back in intensive outpatient and doing well. Hard to keep to the one day at a time for me. It's been a lot of days that turn into years, and what I like to call sucker punches. Just when you get comfortable that you might get some peace and normal - BOOM. Then you start wondering how many do overs can you withstand? Do we just do overs until we are dead?
We spent 13 years after that running an addiction recovery ministry. I see things a TON differently now. Although I was an empathetic soul back then, now I am a more "understanding" person. I believe now that our world has so attacked some people, their brains just cannot cope with reality. We are not who God designed us to be. We have been poisoned from day 1. Poisoned chemically, our minds poisoned with lies, natural cures and supplements have been withheld, our food has been dicked with, our water is poison. Our bodies and minds have to hijacked by evil. However, some people have a very 6th sense, very "sensitive" peeps, many cannot explain it & try to push the opposite (be oblivious & hard), They know that the world is just jacked and they cannot explain it or cope with it. I am in NO WAY excusing the behavior, but my best advise is to treat it as a war for your husbands soul. You and God against the world and evil. Your husband wants what is right, otherwise he would not stay in the fight and go to outpatient. He just can't find his way to the other side. Hang in there. I know it tough, especially right now. IMHO, if HE (&you) can make it to the other side of this movie, he will be fine. God bless you and I will pray that Dolly's husband finds his way to the light.
Thanks for your comment and your prayers. He had a much rougher life in some ways growing up than I did that's for sure. But empathy and understanding can be a slippery slope. Trying not to go down with the ship. We talk every day and he tells me how he's doing. It's easier to be supportive from a distance for sure. I am taking it one day at a time but can't say it's always easy.
