Its a success storie:) I haven't been on this website since my husbands release, 2 months now. Im loving getting to know him again. He's such a new and improved man (this far). My husbands alochol/drug addictions landed him a 19 month sentence, a marriage completely on the edge of divorce. Hearing," I promise I will stay sober this time" gets old quickly..very quickly. I have invested 8 years in this marriage now, kids, home, ect. A lot to just, "move on". The kids so happy to have him back.
Some reason prison seemed to break him, "rock bottom" as they say. He kept telling me "God has changed my life and giving me another chance". He claimed to be sober his entire prison term. Me very skeptial of course, but hopefull. The first week out he landed a Very good job, and working ever since. His out look on life is so positive. We get up every morning and have a short bible study before he goes off to work. The "program" he was doing in prison to help him stay sober, I have encouraged here at home as well. If it works, then don't stop now. I believe we both grew tremendously this last 19 months he was gone. Me, so much stronger, I can make it with out him. A huge accomplishment for me. And maybe a scarry thing for him. He knows he MUST keep himself on track, Im not interested in any less from him. He has alot to loose if he returns to his old ways. I have hope he will make it. He has 21 months sober now.:D A record for him. Im so proud of him, my prayers have been answered. And the blessings just dont stop!!!!
To all those ladys in waiting wondering if they ever change.....Ill update in a few more months, we need all the success stories we can get.

that is so wonderful girl :) i mean really... it means so much when they dont just "talk about they are about it". ya know. i hope for many more months and and years of growth and love for the both you!

Congratulations....They can and do change. And addicts can go into recovery and stay there, it does happen and you and your husband are proof of that. I'm sure he does see that you can and did make it on your own and that probably motivates him as well along with the motivation he gets from God. Can't wait for your next update.....I wish you the best on your continued success.

Such good news. Keep the positive attitude and approach!

Bless you and yours,

I am so glad to read your post. Your life is very similar to mine. I am very hopeful that my man has beat his addiction with God's help, but sometimes doubts come accross my mind about when he will be able to come. Will he continue to stay clean? You both have the right idea by putting your trust in God and I am going to continue to do the same. Thanks! :thumbsup:

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
