please pray for my husband

[recoverygal]

Hi, I'm new here.

My husband is a crack addict who's been in relapse for the past 3 months. We've been married 4 years, and he's been mostly clean during that time.

I'm an ACOA and I've been in therapy and recovery for the past 3 years. I just found out last weekend that I'm pregnant. This will be our first child together. He has a 16 year-old daugther who lives with us from a previous relationship.

His life is spinning out of control right now and I'm scared he will lose everything he has worked so hard for. I know I'm powerless and I know what happens is God's will, but it's still such a hard time, especially with a baby on the way. We also just moved into a new house and I'm scared if he loses his job we will lose the house.

Anyway, as you can see I'm stuck in a lof of what-ifs and worrying about things I can't control instead of having faith, letting go, and letting God. But I would appreciate it if you could pray for my husband, that he finds his way back on track soon.

Thanks everyone.

Bless your heart RG! What timing for a pregnancy and all of the raging hormones that brings. I certainly will pray fo your and your family.

I wish you the best!

Keep in mind...you can't stop a runaway freight train by standing in front of it. it's the same with an addict. When they are spiraling down, all we can do is watch and pray and take care of ourselves.

It's really, really tough to not panic and get outside of the moment when it's not just about you and your life but is now involving the life of a very small and innocent child. It's already affecting the existing family as a whole, I've no doubt about that one. And I know it's darn easy to love them--just horribly tough to live with them.

My heart hurts for you. I know the horror of the uncertainty in each passing day. And I know how I'd want to provide protection for a child's innocence to remain innocent.

I'll keep you and your husband and the children in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi RG,
Just to let you know that you are not alone in this, altho I have grown children, and hubby was addicted to crystal meth, the turmoil is still the same when it comes to these kind of fears and addiction.
I will say a prayer for you and your children. Hope that he will find his way back to recovery and your load will be burden free once again.
The most important thing for you to do, is take care of you and your children, plus one on the way.
Also, remember the Serenity Prayer, they worked well for me during my down times.
Hang in there. (((RG)))
