thankyou!!!

My husband has almost completed his journey off methadone.  He's down to 1mg on Friday. Down from 65mg.
I've stood by him all the way. Some days it's been harder than others. I read all your posts when I'm feeling like I need some more understanding of how it really 'feels' to be battling with addiction, and I'd just like to say you are all AMAZING!!! It takes an incredible amount of character and self worth to beable to beat this horrible disease!
I find it so reassuring reading your posts of struggle and achievement... it warms my heart and helps me stay strong for my husband.  Keep up the good work! I know you can do it!  Big LOVE to you all xxx

Thanks for your kind words.  I believe life's about choices. I chose to keep my family together as our boys would've gone through a lifetime of struggle had I not!
Some days I've imagined life elsewhere but I have stayed strong for the family with the hope that he'd see there's a bigger force in the world than the morphine/methadone addiction...and that is LOVE!  It's been hard work but the future looks bright. In one more week my hubby will be FREE and so will WE!!! :o)
