[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 522625"] Thanks for all of your replies.... PV - I do feel like I am strong and centered but really I get a lot of that from being on this message board and also alanon.... people who have watched me go through this for years are seeing a change. I most definitely was not in this place a year ago!!! Janet - your experience gives me hope that some day he will turn things around but only he can do it. Exhausted - the couch definitely has foot rests.... I think we all need them!! I know I do! Nancy and Kathy - I wish we didnt have to keep each other company on this couch but it sure does help to know I am not alone!!! And Nancy you and I see to have come to a very similar place. I slept last night, I really did. I am feeling it a bit in my gut and some upset today.... but I am not falling apart and I really am going to be ok. I find myself thinking about his funeral which bothers me.... and I really don't know how I would handle it if he dies... but like you said then it would be over. It horrifies me to think he may be doing this 10 or 20 years from now!! And from alanon I know that happens. It is so sad all that he is missing out on and the fact the thinks this is normal!!! I guess when you hang around other addicts it is normal in your circle of friends! So yes it is time to keep moving on in my life... and to keep enjoying husband and easy child. I thank God for easy child because she brings me much joy and laughter. TL [/QUOTE]
