Journal Entry for June 22, 2007 Mood
Friday, June 22, 2007

I read hubby's journal and I see a very different man.  I want to tell him I am proud of him.  I have been reading too that is the way we are going to have to do this to both of us heal and both of us grow stronger.  I finally found something that totally discribe the way i feel about the addiction.  The book said a spouse of an addicted person feels they are always second best.  That they are not good enough and they blame theirself for it because they think if they had all their spouse needs he would not hunt for something else.  This is how I have felt for so long.  Like I was not good enough for him, so he has to go somewhere else.  Perhaps that is why I let it go on for so long and did not put a stop to it.  I am learning my position in my home as a wife and a helpmate.  I am learning to stop blaming myself for all of this because I did and have for a very long time.

 To those who have asked about my health, I am in a lot of pain.  I have lost my pain clinic for now and I am two proceedures behind on my pain shots.  Out of part of my medicine and hoping that is fixed by Sunday.  Other then that I am o.k..

I am suppose to learn hobbies as part of therapy so I have been doing some photography, I posted some of the pictures.  I hope you enjoy God's beauty.

    I hope that you find a doctor to refill your meds soon. I also am praying for your pain to get under control. I think it is great that you and your hubby are communicating. And getting a hobby will help you retreat from your pain. I am looking forward to seeing your photos.
    Hugs and Prayers, Pam

    It's great you are healing from the problems between you and your husband. It's great that you are able to deal with your pain, even with the lost of the pain clinic. I hope that problem will be solved soon. Plus by you releasing some of the anger you might be releasing some of the pain as well. Keep Taking care of yourself for you. Hugs Marg
