I just felt like writing a brief summary of a few events with my pill addicted husband. It helped me to read other people's stories when I was going through this, so well, here it is:

Hello cincin,

Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you and your son all the luck in the world. I believe that everything happens for a reason, so be grateful that you have your son. Try to stay positive and look forward, not back at that part of your life. Make plans for the future and know that you are a wonderful mother for doing what you did.

Sincerely,
emsmom
 
Thank you cincin!

Your story has touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I wish you and your son a life of endless happiness.

You have gone thru a very horrible experience and I am so proud of the strength you had for you and for your son. Your son is very lucky to have you as his Mother. You sound like an amazingly strong woman.

Thank you for sharing your story! It will help more people than you could ever imagine.

Many blessings to you!
 
I can't thank you enough for sharing this. I came here to gather information on my sinus issues, but somehow ended up here. My husband is an alcoholic and we have an almost 3-year-old son. Last week I finally had the balls to tell him that unless he gets help, our marriage will be over. Which stinks, because I love him so very much. He is in denial, because he goes to work, he is a great father, so in his mind how could he be an alcoholic? We've made him an appt. with an addiction specialist at the end of the month. I'm hoping the counselor will be able to clarify to my husband that addicts aren't just one type of people. Some say that addicts are the hardest workers and you'd never knowthey were an addict at all.

I am so scared right now. What will happen to my home? Am I going to be able to make it financially? How will this affect my son, who is in love with his Daddy? How will I get through this, because although I am starting to get bitter, I still love him very, very much. We have been married for almost 11 years.

So yes, I'm petrified. But I've finally found the strength to stand by this ultimatum. Step by step. Gotta get through this first appt. and then see. If he continues to go and gets a little better, then we'll give it another few weeks and see how he does. But if he goes to that first appt and refuses to return, that's it. I have to go on with my life. I've spent the last 10 years of my life looking after him and putting my dreams on hold in order to take care of him. As much as I hate to have to leave him sad and lonely, it's time for me and my son to start LIVING!!

Thanks again for posting, dear.
