That's awesome :)  That's how I feel about my husband too.  I would do it all the same again if I had to!!!  Love truly does make you blind sometimes, but in our cases the outcome was good :)  Congrats to your wife, tell her to smile ;)

Have you thought about a support group for spouses.  It could be helpful.

We have two young boys, I'm already feeling excitement for them to have their mother back - or to be more accurate, finally introduced to her. My hardest challenge now is not getting over the anger and sadness but rather the establishing reconnecting with the lovely woman that stole my heart and admiration, I worry tremendously about this vision coming to fruition...

that is wonderful. my husband has been in recovery for 16 months after a 14 yr. dirty,dark,secret love affair with methadone & xanax, so i know all the issues and emotions wrapped up in the addiction,trust issues, lies,deceit,anger,hurt,financial problems
sadness,promises,broken promises, fighting,yelling, pure hell. we have 4 children, poor babys have been through it. 
it will take time to rebuild the relationship, we are still healing,restoring day by day. the LORD has been a very big part of my husbands recovery and our healing. i will pray for you ,your wife and your family.
oh happy day

Just noticed you are on day 15.  Keep it up!  Trust loved ones ;)

basilwancer · Answer

I'm officially aware of this as of last week, however, I've come to know her addiction surprisingly well.  Judging from behavioral changes beginning a couple of months ago, I'd say that she's well into the recovery process.  We have a life of rebuilding ahead and I am (although going through many emotions) feel as though I have fallen re-inlove with her - the most precious gift of my life (not including kids coz that's a category of its own) ;)
