Round Three begins... where I'm at.

[NV12]

So... like I'm sure most -or probably all- of you here know, sometimes life just seems to be a series of inconsistencies. A daily struggle to maintain a certain level of sanity regardless of your circumstance ...

So here I am, round three... the search for the "magic" rehab. All options seem to be exhausted for now. One week, and my husband will go into medically assisted detox then treatment. From there... well, I can't go there yet.
However, this time seems to be more forced and that leaves me little confidence that this time will be it. I also find my cynicism and hurt growing over failed tries.

Time will hopefully heal some bitterness that's built up over the years in both of us. We've separated, hoping that we might find some peace, and make some changes in our respective lives. Ultimately the kids take great priority, so it's worth one last shot. Only time will tell...
Regardless that I might be ridin passenger on this crazy train, I take great comfort in this group of friends. I guess that makes one of the few consistencies I'm grateful to have.

So... tha point of all that is, mucho gracias to you guys for all you contribute (and the little doses of brutal reality I need sometimes)!

(And I didn't post this in the piss n' moan b/c I'm workin on positive thoughts for now...)

Be easy- NV

[nick]

No advice,but much luck to BOTH of you.

[Nate]

Much luck!! Your not alone.

[bronyraur]

Good luck NV.

Rehab only works when the person is ready for it. They may think they're ready–but deep inside they aren't.

Hopefully this is it for all of you.

best wishes.

It says a lot about you that you have worked so much to keep your family together and if you do separate you will both know that love is there and you really did want it to be ok.

And I think you need to know that it will be ok, that whatever happens, you can make it and it will be alright for yourself, your husband and your children, for your family.



Oh yeh, and also you're real f---in' cool and we like you here.

[Tea Time]

I don't really have much to add except to wish your entire family good luck. As you know it will take a lot of hard work, but it can be done. If you need to vent or talk about anything going on, you know that we are all here with a sympathetic ear. Take care,

TT

Hope things work out for you both.....Just wishing you well....

[NV12]

Thanks for the support and replies... I'm quite sure I'll be lookin for more advice at some point!
I know I'll get through it, I just hope I do in a fairly rational way...:)

In my experience, dealing with addiction has brought out alot of ugly in not only my hubby, but in me as well. Hindsight is 20/20... and I've made alot of bad decisions myself throughout this process. Eventually we all face these demons, not something I look forward to. But thanks for letting me share this... sure I'll keep ya posted.

(and Surf, ya'll pretty f'in cool too, thanks ;))

I will never stop wanting to get high, it's the consequences of me getting high that keep me clean from time to time
good luck, reality and sobriety are a mother ###### at times
other times it's the greatest feeling in the world knowing that your happy just cause your happy not cause you have some chemicals in your system floating around

Indeed. Sometimes it is nice to just be sober, although those times aren't often enough.
