Today I’m thankful for Valle Vista Health Systems, a counselor named Tom, Celebrate Recovery, and all the people in my husband’s life that help keep him clean. To describe learning your husband is a drug addict as a slap in the face doesn’t even begin to cover it. Sometimes I still don’t believe it and it’s been over sixteen months. I remember that day so vividly, like it was this morning, but at the same time, if feels like it was a lifetime ago. We’re a million miles away from where we were that July day in Tennessee when everything came crashing down and we’ve still got a million more to go. I’m probably just now comfortable enough to say I’m married to a recovering drug addict. We live our life differently than we did before because we have to. But I wouldn’t change a thing. So today I’m thankful for those who helped and continue to help Chris stay clean.
