Dealing with relapses is hard. It's amazing to me sometimes that the same behavior and lies still have the power to hurt so much -- even when I know to expect them. Thanks for the hug, Sophie.

I'm crying with you and watching our gray gray skies and lovin' Mama Nature for empathizing with all of her mamas. My husband has been on and off the SA wagon for eight years and just told me about his recent acting out, after 3 yrs 4 mo. of sobriety. It was his longest period yet, and like your husband, he came clean to me on his own, too. So back on the wagon and back on the couch for him, and dusting off the truth serum and willpower for me. Sending you a big (((hug))) from a total stranger who sorta gets it. B well. You are not alone Oh, Mama.

I think it's great your hubby is sharing with you. At the same time, I know it has to be tough to deal with. I'm glad you have this blog and all of us who read to support you. We're cheering you on!

I'd be interested in hearing more from you about the "slips" (when/if you're ready to discuss them, of course). My husband and I are new to this - I only found out about <a HREF="http://thehurtingheart.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">his SA</a> 2 months ago and he has 66 days of sobriety. He hasn't had a slip yet but I, at times, find myself extremely anxious at the thought of him having one. I'm not sure how forgiving I'd be able to be...

But probably it is better to just write that you are not alone—not in your sorrow and not in your joy. <br/><br/>And you will just have to have faith that things will work out, then breath so you don't notice so much how long it's taking for that to happen.<br/><br/>Now when people tell me something like what I just wrote, I punch them in the eye which makes it easier for me to breath, then I thank them for the nice thought and useless words while apologizing for the black eye. And suddenly I don't feel so blue. I could make your sadness all about me by telling you how helpless I feel that there is nothing I can write to make it better.
