Recovery was upon us...your last line...when the darkness is so dark and suffocating, when the pit is so very deep, a light shines through for just a moment, not knowing what it is you move, no guarantees of survival, you move, because without you will surely die.

Wow! Honesty ups the ante in your prose.

I had that night with my husband, too. Though I think I cried and raged a little too much, because he later recanted, and hasn't admitted to any of the other women since.

Your husband shows remorse. Mine just doesn't want to get caught again.

“I don’t know.” There it was again, all the answer he had.

Its only been a couple weeks since I realized the extend of my Husbands addiction. But this is the most amazing piece of comfort I have found. 1000 times I have heard that explanation. "I don't know" And every time it broke my heart, and I knew there was more.

I really thought it was the communication block in our relationship that lead to these words (one we have worked through). But its comforting to me to hear someone else say it also.

Thank you so much for your 7 parts. While my husband never cheated, I am sure if this hadn't been revealed soon that was the next step. To know that someone can recover from such give me hope.

Thank you

Annette, I don't know if you'll read this comment or not... Those early days and weeks in the wake of this revelation were so frantic and crazy and painful for me. I know you're there now, and I wanted to let you know (if I'm able) that you're in my thoughts.

I can't stop reading your posts. I am desperately looking for answers, for hope. I want to be strong, but I'm so confused and scared. Thank you for "being there". There are no accidents.

Wow. That moment is so pivotal... I was fully emerged in every paragraph and could relate to so much. Addiction is addiction, no matter what type. And boy oh boy, is this hitting bottom.
