Today is my first day here. I didn't know what else to do so thought it was worth a shot. I've been battling my addiction for about 4 years now. My husband told me last week that he was going to leave me if I didn't stop. I KNOW I have to do it for myself & for my little girl, but I also don't want to lose my husband. It kinda gave me the kick in the pants I needed I guess. Now though, he isn't supporting me at all in this. He has been through it so many times in the past that now he's over it. This is my seventh day, I haven't been able to say that in four years, but I don't know how much longer I can do it with no support from him. He's always been my number one cheerleader & now he doesn't care. I don't know what to do.
I was an avid cocaine user for about 4 years so I know how difficult it can be but I think it is amazing that you have gone this long and now you want to continue. I do understand that a support system is what can make the difference.
Why do you think he doesn't care? Is it because you have tried to quit many times and now he doesn't believe you are serious?
We are here to listen and help.
Thank you for replying to my post. Today is day 8 & for once my head is in a good place. I went to out on eyeliner & mascara yesterday & didn't recognize my own eyes. They no longer had a yellow tint & looked clear. It was so strange.
I do think he's "over it" because he's been through it so many times. He just wants me to prove it to him, but it is hard because I feel like I'm totally alone in this. He did tell me that I was doing a great job yesterday. I don't know. Yes, support from your loved ones can make all the difference.
I hope you have a fantastic day.
