Hi I\'m Nicole. I\'m new to this place. I also need to get something of my chest!
I really feel like using right now, and my main reason behind that is because I\'m dealing with some major Anxiety and Xanax was always the way to take it away. I seriously thought about calling up some people and trying to get some. You know \" just for my anxiety\". But I know that maybe it would start there, but it would end up somewhere else.
I would remember that \"feeling\", and just take a few more than needed. If not for my strong faith in God, I would use again. I would ruin everything I have worked for these past 6 months and I would relapse BIG TIME.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
May I ask, do you feel you are a codependent?
He has to be reeling at times and the anxiety, my husband told me, is all part of the addiction and wanting that \"fix\". There is also a spitirual side to recovery, do you know if he has accepted and worked on that?
It sound like he really wants to stay clean and I commend him for that and to do it on his own is awesome, but there aren\'t any rules so he is allowed to get the help that is available to him. Counseling is another avenue.
I hope I have helped in some way. I remember what we went through in his first year. It\'s hard on everyone but hardest on the addict.
I am not at all a codependent person. I simply don't have any experience with this (thank God) in order to as supportive as I could be.
Lately, he has been in a great mood, feeling good. He tells me I am good for him, and I hope I am. Having this group to talk to so I know I'm not alone, and that he's not alone, really does help a lot. Thanks!
