[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 751854, member: 22877"] I pray you are right. I am fearing the worst because he has a poor track recovery-wise in Chicago. Most everyone he knows uses, deals, or both and I don't see him going back to Chicago and seeking out healthier relationships or ending the unhealthy ones. I also got a little angry when talking to my husband this evening, because he (a) called me from work when he was on a 5 minute break and no time to have a discussion (probably timed it on purpose) and (b) not knowing when or even for sure if he is going I get to carry this around with me for an indeterminate amount of time. And right now I am back to the feeling of weights hanging on my arms, shoulders, and neck just thinking about the what-ifs. This has been a good week, celebrating both mine and my husband's birthdays and it ends like this. Ironically, just last night when he called me both my husband and I told him how proud we are of the progress he's been making, even after a relapse. And now this. It's almost as if he doesn't want us to express pride or praise for him. (He actually has been like that since he was a kid. If I praised him for something positive he was doing, he would immediately reverse course and start doing the opposite) [/QUOTE]
