Hi
I normally post on the relatives site but i wanted to tell you both how much your posts help me in understranding my husband and give me hope that things may eventually be different. my H posts here occasionally, he has started going to NA meetings and finds them good, i think he isnt afraid to say how he feels and seems more accepted. i am trying hard not to buy in to his drug prooblem and have set bottom lines if he is to stay with me. But i could not put up any longer with the way that he was behaving, thankfully since hes been at NA theres been an improvement, although i still know he has been stoned somtimes.
Anyway thanks for your posts there is a lot of wisdom in what you both say and you help more people than you could know, there must be lots of people like me who read lots and contribute little. Augustwest if you leave the board i know you will help others in other ways and use the time for yourself, just wanted to say id miss ya
thanks guys

emile, i remember your posts very well and i remember posts of your husband as well. thank your for your post here and, it is with and in a spirit of gratitude that i read your writings. i'm glad that your husband has acted on his expressed desire to change his behaviors. so many speak, but never act. talk but never walk. think, but never do anything with their thoughts. have good intentions, but leave them in the heads rather than starting the hard work that it takes to get out of the addiction trap.
many families and friends do the same thing. we all do at times.
but it is with much encouragement that i read your posts. and hopefully your marriage will become all that you and he wanted it to be when you stood and made commitments to one another. like decisions and good intentions, the marriage commitments are very hard sometimes to "live out"
know that you, your husband and your marriage are in my prayers today.
