Really struggling…. Went to rehab across the counrty to get clean… been here for 6 weeks… in a 8 week program, and my “supportive” wife is just completely making me feel terrible for being gone… trying to rush me… and just making me think about everything BUT my recovery… i love her… but it seems like she puts ultimatums on my recovery… i am not ready yet to come home.. i need more time to heal. But shes saying im neglectful and all that… of her and my kids..

Sounds like you should have a talk with her. She needs to know that you need the time to sober up . Heal and find you way in back into a world that will challenge you everyday. Does she drink ?

She does… she doesn’t see being drunk as a problem.
My issue was crack and coke.. she thinks I should just snap my fingers.. we’ve talked so many times. We even did family counseling. Seems like addicts only understand addicts.

I don't believe in labels you should never label yourself. Do you not think that her drinking and you drinking can lead you
Back to doing drugs.
You feel free to reach out to me .anytime
Make the next right choice, right?

I do 100% believe that. It’s something we’re working on. She doesn’t drink often, but when she does she drinks to be drunk. I cannot drink anything tho.
You’re doing the right thing by putting your recovery first. It’s tough, but healing takes time, and you’re worth it. And I think you know that that’s what needs to be a priority right now and for that I’m extremely proud of you. Stay focused on your progress, your strength will benefit everyone in the long run.
