Hey Andy,, Just wondering how you are doing.. I havent been hanging around here as much.. I also wanted to let you know how Mike and I were doing..<P>Well,, he has finally broken free.. Its been about 2 months now,,, and he has beaten withdrawal.. I tell you it was hell, as you know,, but we made it... And his loving feelings are returning for me more and more each day..<P>I finally feel confident enough to start working on marital recovery now that I know he is through withdrawal.. Its so weird,, but I can just see Mike back to what he was like 14 months ago before this whole mess started..<P>Things are going very well at home.......Some of the good things that come out of this are:<P>1) We have changed our work schedules and have a lot more time together.<BR>2) For the first time in his life, Mike goes to Church and really enjoys it.. <BR>3) We communicate more..<BR>4) We are going to fill out the emotional needs questionaire.<BR>5) We have a stronger bond now than we did before, having been through this terrible mess together and crying together etc..<BR>6) We do not take each other for granted as much..<P>Many more..<P>Still have a ways to go to get past guilt, resentment etc,, but it get better as each day passes..<P>I dont know if you got my thank you on my other thread a while back, so I wanted to make sure you know that I thank you for being there for Mike and I.<P>Now, I was wondering how your situation is going.. Any improvement??<p>[This message has been edited by mickey65 (edited January 17, 2000).]
