Here are some things that have helped me since in the program.

Go face to face meeting & online meeting.

post on the board here on the site. I have gotten a lot of good feed back.

· Setup a support system. people do not judge. You need someone who can go for coffee on a bad day, or pick up a phone and call when in trouble. The support is what is important when you first this program.

HI moonbean,

Welcome to MIP. You sound alot like me a few years back. My A started as a few drinks a night than it got worse. He is a good father and does alot with the kids. But for me he not there so much not a all. We are planning on going to a marriage group. See if we can get those old feeling back. Don't give up keep coming. Everyone has a story and will share. Take what works for you and leave the rest. For me this board made me a better person, wife and mother. This board was for me not my husband.

Keep coming NIKKILOU
