I told my husband....finally!

[Leah1964]

A few of you know that last week I came up to see my husband and was struggling with idea of telling him about my problem.  It's been 8 days since I have been here, except for 2 that I went to visit a friend in Atlanta.  We have more issues going on except my addiction and making myself open and vulnerable to him has been a serious dilemma in my heart and mind.  Anyway, this morning we talked - ALOT!  about many things and finally I just put it all out there.  He was amazing!  He is so hurt that I have walked this road and felt unable to confide with confidence in him and his ability to encourage an support me through this process.  He feels partly like the cause because he has caused me so much hurt and pain in the last six months, which in truth has been the time my addiction has escalated, but it's not his fault and I took/take responsibility for MY ACTIONS with my drug abuse.  Actually, it has probably helped propel me toward wholeness because I NEED more than ever to be clean to face this life.  We are working toward a new vulnerability towards each other and our talk this morning is one more step in that direction.  He offered to do/help with whatever I need to walk this road.  

Thanks to all you who supported and encouraged and prayed for me/us with this struggle.  I wouldn't be where I am today with out you and I hope that I can help you and others in our race toward wholeness!

I also understand where you are coming from. There always seems to be more going on then meets the eye and one problem leads to another. Sounds like you on the right road.

Take Care,

I understand everything u just said. When me and my fiancé were just starting to date I was just gettin into my pill addiction.  I went 2 years maybe more b4 I got help at a treatment center and my first day there I was coming home and my fiancé called (all he knew was that I had a dr appt ) he asked how it went and I told him everything about my addiction and he told me he knew it was somehti g of that nature. Ever since then he has been so suppotrtive. It was the best thing I had ever done. I was so scared but it worked out for me I the long run.  So I really appreciate ur post Ty for sharing
