i am so proud of you!!!!!! and i also admire you!!!

we are all here for you!!!!

That is really great that you are so positive about the whole experience. I would have to say that right now the time is for you to get better and your husband needs to understand this. Now is the time that you need him to be your support.

Don't stop your good progress. You can only do better for yourself.

Remember One Day at a Time.

Another piece of advice I can give you is to seek out a sponsor. A sponsor (a female one) can help you through the tough times and help you down the road to recovery. Usually you want to find someone that has at least a year of abstinence but preferably more than that. They are a great tool to have to work on your steps. I am a recovering addict/alcoholic of almost 6 years.

Feel free to PM me if you want to talk.

Also, what part of the Burgh are you from? I used to live there about 7 years ago in Highland Park. Also in Wexford and Mt. Washington

I live in the eastern suburbs of Pgh. Plum/Murrysville area. I used to think I could tackle things alone, I didn't need anyone and I thought that made me strong. I thought it proved I had strength and courage to go it alone, but what I'm finding through AA is that my real strength is being able to listen and accept help from other people. It's hard to open up, it's extremely uncomfortable, but I'm getting a little better at it. I'll go to another AA tomorrow...Thank You for all your support.
