Sometimes it feels like forever

Posted on by Sandi

He’s on a business trip all week and I’m home with the kids. I’m trying to move beyond alll of my fears and anxiety, this is when he used to drink the most and cheat the most. I’m reminding myself it’s different now, he’s sober now, our lives have changed this past year. Or have they…

He hasn’t called at all today and it 10pm, his call last night was only a couple minutes, it leaves me wondering and waiting in anxiety. Though he’s made huge strides into his sobriety, I’m feeling mighty lonely tonight.

The healing of the damage done from an alcoholic takes so long. Sometimes it feels like it will go on forever feeling this way, but eventually God shines the light…. I’m looking for His light and grace tonight, I need it.

I’m the wife of a recovering alcoholic. We have 4 kids and 2 grandkids and have been married for 15 years. Often feeling the overwhelming exhaustion of the past problems and feelings and emotions, but trying to move forward and face the life full in the face, where am I continuing to enable him or am I standing for myself these days.... it’s difficult to know what to trust and to move forward and where am I possibly still enabling....
