Doug
Why?
Six years ago...I admitted I was addicted to percocets and sought help..
My wife at the time flipped out...didn't understand and it cost me my marriage.
Even though I was clean for a while..when I relapsed..I learned to keep my
mouth shut I guess...No more...I just want to get clean ...and live a sober life..
I don't care who accepts it...I'm doin this for me...

Doug...you are the right person to do this for! I'm proud of you!
You have the right attitude, you do it for you, but you still don't have to do it alone.
I kept it from my husband and family for 26 years. When I did tell them, they were as supportive as they could be, without really understanding it. When I relapsed the last time, I didn't tell my husband for a year. When he found out, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But like you, I did it for me.
What I meant by you not having to do it alone is, there are others, like us, that can help. I belong to NA and they are my support. They don't judge me. They don't tell me that I'm wrong, or stupid or mean. They tell me that I have an illness that can be dealt with and show me a better way to live.
As addicts, we like to make it as hard (if not impossible) as we can, when we don't have to. It's like we're punishing ourselves because we don't think we're worth it.
You are so worth it.
