okay, i've known about this MB for about a year now... wife moved out a year ago, my drug use out of hand... took everything, didn't tell me where she was going... demanded i get clean and work on my issues. sought help through NA and MB... seperate resources for seperate issues... <p>attended MB in Dallas 9/01... (around same time had moved back "home") attempted the courses, however, not much positive yield. posted a couple of times, only to find out wifey was using my username and password -- was not positive, reading the posts. used it as a forum for exchange of negativity.<p>here i am, clean for a year... that ought to be worth something, right? i continue to focus on recovery from addiction and on this marriage as well...(too much?)<p>(a twist) found out recently wife was doing cocaine... she decided to get clean also... (thank God). <p>last friday, called her at noon to say "hi, how ya doin'?" she says "i'm moving..." deja-vu<p>she claims nothing has changed... i admit somethings haven't some things have... i do have hope today.<p>she clearly doesn't know what she wants... she wants "atleast a year" to get herself together... i don't know if i can do another year trying to save this marriage... <p>MY QUESTION: we agree that we have an unhealthy relationship... can any relationship be made healthy? after MB seminar, i thought so... but now i'm unsure.<p>it's getting difficult to care about this relationship with all of the new stresses... being alone... financial hardship... disappointment...etc.<p>i'm sure someone can relate...

I know exactility what you are going threw. My H Started drugs about a year ago also. all I could get out of him was the (I dont knows) just dont let it bring you down. I once hateded my husband for doing what he is doing to himself
I had to move away from everything beceause it was killing me to see what he has become. Then I started to drink just to forget. I knew it was not right. but I'am still hoping mabie one day he will wake up and see how much I love him. Meanwhile I lost myself . I was willing to do his drugs just to be with him. this was everything I was not to bee. But I love him. you cant make a person change know matter how hard you try. they have to want it for themself. so please do not forget to live for yourself. Make sure you take care of yourself. do not be like me once my H left I lost everything including my pride, self respect. keep your chin up and do not lose your self in the process.
