[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 86359, member: 3579"] Hi Heather. Thank you for your reply, and your offer. But as I've said before, I'm the only one in this car on the ride. I can't get wife to admit (and act like) McWeedy is an addict with serious problems. Problems, yes, addict, no. And any attempt I make to push the subject is rebuffed. She also resents the fact that I post here, and feels that it's a waste of my time. So, unfortunately, I don't think she'd be receptive to any information, emails, or other contact from members here like yourself. It's like I said in my previous post: to work the NarAnon program, before you get to step one you have to admit that the person you love actually IS an addict, which she won't do. That said, until she comes to that realization on her own she won't be receptive to anything anyone here has to say. I hope to start my first NarAnon meeting on Monday, and I expect to catch hell from her for going. But I'm doing it for me. I post here because it's cathartic and theraputic; putting my thoughts and feelings into words forces me to evaluate them, understand them, and acknowledge them. Again, it's something I do for me. But she doesn't see it that way. Talk is a waste of time for her. Talking about problems that "don't exist" is beyond a waste. Maybe, one day, if she ever gets past the zeroth step and actually seeks out help, she may come here and participate. Until then, you're stuck with my ugly mug and nothing else.
