I met him in recovery. He has 15 years clean and sober and I have 2 years/3 months tomorrow.
Every night I watch him struggle to breathe as he reaches for me terrified. I’m completely helpless. I don’t know what to do other than be here.
We have had all the hard conversations. Done the paperwork. It’s only a matter of time now and I am frightened for him,..
I am disabled due to more than one illness. When I am stressed it can heighten my pain and symptoms which triggers me. I hide both my pain and the fact that I am totally triggered from him, of course. I have a choice today. I can tattle on myself with my journal or to Loosid. For now, I choose Loosid.
Thanks for this app because I already feel kinda better admitting that I feel triggered at the moment. Yet feel so guilty for feeling triggered. Now do I post or not? Ugh here goes..
I’m so sorry to hear this. Hopefully he can get some palliative care along with medical treatment. I’m glad u chose to come here for support
sending out prayers to you both
What a difficult thing to go through. Although you feel helpless, just “being there” is huge. That is often all we can do. Hang in there. Sending positive energy to you both.
Def post,it makes you feel like people sometimes have it way off,and it isn't fair no,stay strong!!
Definitely post or send a message I will chat.
I don't know how religious you are but I would talk to a priest, minister or rabbi. I think it will help. They will come to your home if need be.
I will pray for you both
Keep posting and reaching out for support. Sending you lots of love
You are doing the right thing to the best of your ability..Trust God
Oh I’m sorry to read this, if I were in ur situation, I’d have triggers n cravings too! Just remember he’d want u to stay sober, maybe that will help u !!
I am so sorry for what you are going through, I hope things get better for you and I’m praying.
Thanks for sharing! Also it’s really great to see other people showing their kindness & care. Ya sometimes life is a real MF! Sorry for such hard times. Sometimes all we can do is be loving & kind. Sending you love & light
My heart goes out to both of you. I pray to God to give you both comfort and peace.
