Struggling Help
#1

Because of my alcoholism, my husband asked me for a divorce just about a year ago to the date… And I’m struggling with how my life changed because of my choosing addiction over my family and my happiness. Today I am 56 days sober and I am thankful for all the second chances God has given me, and I just look forward to making good decisions and choosing happiness ❤️

We put our families thru the ringer time and time again. Many times they honestly don’t understand this disease and think our will power and lots of their love should be enough to stop… so not the case

I got a divorce for basically the same reason. Just learn from it and do whatever it takes to get the addiction under control and establish a foundation of sobriety, which it sounds like you are off to a good start. Work a program and find a sponsor thereafter. Most do AA , but there are many other programs as well such as SMART recovery and Refuge Recovery, just choose which you think fits best and go. You can't change the past...all you can do is have a solid foundation of sobriety before you enter into another serious relationship, Im trying to do the same. Need to focus on yourself to truely heal so you can be there for others.
Good luck and congrats on the 56 days...I'm a couple behind you :+1:
