My wife Debbie talks about her side of recovery after I got home from rehab. She immediately started seeing a therapist "Noel Nu" weekly and went to nar anon meetings. After sharing at these meetings she felt a comfort that she was not alone. In my early recovery my character defects were still strong. She had to navigate around my selfish actions to work on herself and help the children. She said she had to be both parent's emotionally and physically while giving me space which was not an easy decision for her. Debbie talks about making a "choice" getting through the good and bad times together as a family and learning about the disease of addiction at the same time. She said that being in recovery together has brought more compassion, love and trust in our relationship and family. Thank you babe for always being there for the kids and myself, I LOVE YOU!! BAMN
