I know your pain

Quote From: kcmomof3

In June of this year, I will have ten years clean.  I was addicted to crack cocaine and had lost my children.   I met a man in recovery who later relapsed.  I tried everything possible to keep him clean.  I couldn't do it.  If he's not willing, it won't work.  Love him the best you can and let him know you are there for him.  But  you can't keep him clean.  Just pray for him and keep yourself clean.  My husband took his own life two and a half years ago.  He was depressed and couldn't or wouldn't get off the drugs.  I know the pain you are experiencing even though your husband is still there.  I've been in your situation.  Just continue to go to the meetings and stay clean!  I'll be thinking of you.
Unfortunately, there is NOTHING we can do to keep someone SOBER! It's hard to believe, but it is true! The good thing you CAN do is......Take care of yourself and work your program! If you continue to take care of yourself, you will be setting a good example and you will be keeping that drug from Taking ANOTHER life! I wish you good luck!!!!
