I was able to point out to my husband that he has become the person he never wanted to be (in a loving way). He had become like his friends who think it is ok to get high and drink when their kids are in their care. He told me yesterday that was his first day with nothing. He wasn't feeling moody, like when he would try to quit in the past, he was feeling anxious. He did alot of exercises to get him through when he would want to get high. Something seems different this time. I told him how proud I was that he made it through the first day and we will take this one day at a time. I am so happy that he is trying. Just had to share. :85::12:
:D5/6/08 UPDATE - He has been pot free for a week. He has gotten drunk since I first posted this, but we are taking it one day at a time together. Each day that he makes it through without any substance is a wonderful day. There is less arguing since I have learned that I can't control what he does, I can just control my behavior and reaction to him. I have also established boundaries and he is accepting of them. Thank you for all the encouragement!:169:
