Hi, My name is Kimbra. I am new to Nar anon. My husband and I have been married for 2 1/2 years we have seven children between the two of us. He has two boys ages 28 and 29 both of whom have been in addiction. The 28 year old just got out of prison in May again and I believe is back into his addiction. The 29 year old has maintained his recovery and is now a general manager at Taco Bell married and raising two of the cutest little girls. I have four children from my previous marriage ages 20,18,16 and a 14 year old daughter. My oldest is also involved in drinking and smoking pot (I know he has abused prescription drugs – vicodin). My husband and I together have a baby who is now 19months. He was a big surprise, but he is such a blessing. My husband when he moved to where we live now thought he had a job but it fell through so when we found out I was pregnant we thought him being home would be a good thing because he would be able to watch the baby. This has become the curse. He has too much time on his hands and he uses the baby as an excuse for not attending meetings or doing any other recovery steps. I am a nurse, teach nursing clinical at the local state college and am currently attending school myself to become a nurse practitioner.
Ok this leads me to where I am now. My husband just left two days ago to enter his third rehab since we have been married. I am soooooo frustrated and angry. I began looking online for either an Al-Anon or Nar-Anon meeting and was surprised to find there is only one Al-Anon meeting and one Nar-Anon meeting in nearby towns. So, I decided to look for online support.
I look forward to learning what I need to learn to help maintain some sort of sanity. I look forward to the input and help.
