I suspect there might have been a relapse from his lack of expressing how long it has been. I find myself at a loss on what to do/say to him. I have expressed my support, but he is extremely introverted and never shares his feelings (a curse my whole family has). I don't want to upset him by prying, but being silent can't be good either. He has recently become a father of twins and with the stresses of that and not having steady work I constantly worry about his sobriety.<br /><br />I look forward to following your journey!self-preservationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009391347479451143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456867084000735251.post-35666758690894152882012-03-25T16:51:34.831-07:002012-03-25T16:51:34.831-07:00thanks, so wonderful to hear from you. look forwar...thanks, so wonderful to hear from you. look forward to sharing, wishing you all the best :)John Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581629630595719250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456867084000735251.post-50300851867447174702012-03-25T16:23:44.526-07:002012-03-25T16:23:44.526-07:00This is great, John.

No more fear of people finding out, our covers being pulled back and us exposed....because we have done the exposing on our own stuff. We have empowered ourselves by our honesty. I love it. Taking a good hard look at ourselves is very difficult and scary and does take a lot of courage but once that first glimpse has been had....each looks gets easier. We get stronger and braver. <br />Thank you for your comments on my blog. Its nice to have you there. :o)Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326425173333184401noreply@blogger.com
