I am a mother, Christian, friend, business owner, and the very tired wife of an alcoholic. Loving an addict is hard. Loving an addict is tiring. I am trying my best to support my addict husband and to basically not let him die from his illness. We have been through two trips to rehab, countless lost jobs, have been in marriage counselling for 6 years, and it is hard.
I love my husband. Very much. I do not love the man he becomes when he drinks or uses pills. This is my anonymous place to get my feelings out on paper and to possibly connect with and help others like me who are in love and living with substance addicts.
Sometimes I walk this road with grace and dignity and others, I do it all wrong and am a hot mess at the end of my rope. But I trudge forward hoping for good days and praying for clean days and looking for guidance and answers and peace.
