The Junky's Wife has opened this forum for you to leave your comments about her posts, your experiences with addiction or living with addicts, or other topics that are relevant to the blog. If you are feeling cranky, snarky, snide, or otherwise unpleasant, that's ok, but the Junky's Wife would rather not be on the receiving end of your stuff. This is a moderated forum, so your unpleasantness will be deleted. Go pee in somebody else's sandbox...or better yet, find some help for that sandbox-pissing problem.
If you read something on her site that bothers you, or if this entreaty not to kick her while she's down bothers you, feel free not to read anymore. Thanks!

| Message | I know how fragile those tiny sprouts of hope feel, how vulnerable. I hope they take strong root during this springtime season, and grow fast and true. I know how hard it is to let go and practice loving detatchment, to not allow yourself to get in there and try to arrange things as we want them to be. This is a challenge for me too. You are doing such good work for yourself. You are so strong. I admire you for taking such good care of yourself!  |

| Message | My wife recently reminded me that everything we don't like about each other is not rooted in alcoholism or co-dependency. Some of it is rooted in imperfection in both of us. When you get so caught up in recovery, sometimes you forget that you're more than an alcoholic or a co-dependent, you're also a human being. |

| Message | Overwhelmed - Can you step back off of one of the assignments to make yourself and what you are attempting to do more do-able? I actually took a part time job on top of a full time job as a coping mechanism - to stay away from the house - the husband the issues- I stopped when i realized it was not helping, but the mind is an increadible thing is'nt it?! It is so strange taht in some of what you write I see myself, perhaps it is what I am looking for, others I can identify with - you make me think - thank you! cat |

| Message | I ran out of room, sorry. Perspective is a tricky thing. When we are "in the midst" of our experience we don't have a good view. Usually its when we've come out the other side that we can see the lessons we've learned and the growth and positive change gained. Generally this is after a lot of pain and heartache. I'm not sure why but it seems necessary, and this is i'm sure why we can't usually learn from each other's mistakes, we have to make our own. Or maybe its unfair to call them mistakes, since all of our experiences contribute to the people we are. I wish there was some way I could ease your pain, or spare you some of it, or really help you. Instead I feel oddly like I'm a voyer, watching an accident happen in slow motion over and over. I am happy for you that you have a program in your life and steps to work to help you grow into who you are supposed to be. I pray that your husband reaches his bottom (and he might if you can find ways to stop enabling him - like with $$) and finds his own way to recovery. I am not judging, I hope you can hear that. I wish you joy and healing, and I wish you peace. |

| Message | You are a courageous woman, and I have a deep respect for your courage. I'm a recent add-on to your reader-following, and I have to say I am captivated by your words and by the life you are living. BTW I am a recovering alcoholic, celebrating 9 years sober this month, and I am married to another recovering alcoholic, he will have 10 years sober in July of this year. We have 2 children. (BTW, don't have kids with this man unless he recovers.) I am so struck by "Let's Reconsider". Specifically, at the end where you state: "If I kept in mind that I am sacred to myself, that my happiness and well-being must come first, and that I am obligated to myself to make the most of every minute of my life, I wouldn't live like this." How true. And even though I have read many times how completely and totally in love you are with this man, the question remains: is love enough? I have loved men who were not capable of loving me the way I deserved, and although I was addicted to these relationships in the end I walked away. These men treated me in ways that are echoed in your blog. I look back on those relationships today and can't believe that I remained in them, justifying the kinds of behavior I tolerated, and for whatever sick reason I believed that these relationships would change somehow; I believed that I could be the catalyst for that change. I was wrong. What I really had to do was to face myself, to accept myself, to love myself. |
