Hello...I found this site a few days ago and decided to join
for support. There are no gamanon meetings in my area.
My husband is a cg who recently had a slip. He had
over 700 days clean - almost 2 years - but I'm not sure I can trust
that. I have a lot of questions and am not sure where to start.
I am familiar with 12 step groups and am a member of
one. I'm a recovering alcoholic. He has been supportive of me
throughout my recovery. We have been together 28 years - we were
quite young
when we got together. I am trying to be supportive of his
addiction. I'm feeling heartbroken this last few days and
unsure of where to go. I'm thinking that I need to put all of our
financial matters in my name only but am not sure about this
or if it is the "right" move? He has not (to my knowledge)
used our joint accounts or "our" money. He is attending
his ga meetings. Where to I go from here?
We have our separate 12 step programs and our own recovery/
support groups - I think I have been able to "let go" and
know I have no control over his program - nor do I want to.
I just need to know that I will be safe and want to
protect myself. We have no children so we only have each other.
I'd appreciate any comments to help me out. I understand there
are meetings on line or chat rooms but I could use some
help finding them and nagivating into them. I do believe
I'm not alone out here but where do I go from here?
