nice work. that's step one. powerless, unmanageable... next comes acceptance. i restate all of this for my benefit as well. i recently returned to a 12step program after yet another relapse. it has been almost four years of in & out recovery for myself, but i have learned to reach out (like this), talk to others, share my experience, strength & hope (however little "i" may think that may be), and to "KEEP COMING BACK!" should i falter. the "program" has shown me a new way to live and given me hope. welcome!

I lied to my husband and everyone else in the world.  The first time I admitted my addiction was here.  Anyway, just wanted to say I wish  I would have done it differently ,,,been honest...  Maybe I would still be married.  Just my opinion, after 25 year you can't get it back...DO it NOW>  YOUR RECOVERY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD.  RECOVERY!!!  You can do it and don't waste anymore time...for me, OK?  I know you can do this and  when you look back you will have good memories and know your energy was used in a loving productive way.  Do it now!

Hi there and welcome to what I have become to acknowledge as the best website full of wonderful people willing to lend any advice they have and any kind words to help you through this SUCCEEDING process. I am not at the point 'yet' where I can offer good advice. I too am trying to fight off this nasty taste. I just wanted you to know that everyone here will help you through making the right decision. I would, however, like to offer one small peice of advice, if you don't mind. If I were married, I would ask for nothing but straight honosty. If your husband truly loves you, he will accept this and help you in any way possible. I wish you the best with dealing with this. As everyone else has told me, keep posting with all your feelings, thoughts and battles, and we will respond with the best advice possible.
