Do take a deep breath. His leaving isn't about you & him, it is about him being in the midst of an addiction, and not being strong enough to fight it right now.<P>Focus on you right now, you cannot control his behavior, but you can take care of yourself.<P>Hugs--<P>Kathi

Dearest di,<P>{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{di}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}...<P>I know you are hurting so much.<P>Know that everyone here is praying for you and they all care for you.<P>You've gone through so much over the last several months... and were lifted so high...<BR>only to be dropped.<P>Recovery isn't a quick process...<BR>...you know that too. ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/frown.gif) <P>His withdrawal, like any other addicts, is going to take time. We all want the healing to come fast... and for some it does... for many it takes a little bit longer.<P>When you're down... talk to someone...<BR>talk to God.<P>I know you're not giving up...<BR>...you've worked so hard.<P>Just know that our caring prayers for you will help... and will always be there.<P> ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif) <P>Jim

Hi SDS,<P>Are you OK? Been there too many times to count. Take deep breaths, keep your eye on your goal. This separating can take a very long time - it is not about you.<P>Big hugs,<BR>Starpony
