Long term rocky relationships involving drugs and alcohol.

Tweet

I have been in a relationship for about 10 years this July. Wow has it been that long already. The beginning was rough. I was just newly divorced and met this man at a bar of all places. I was feeling pretty good about my self; mom of three kids, size 1 in a hot dress. He walked up to me and said "WOW" and my response was "WoW is right" and then I walked away. We still laugh about it. We have gone through alot of bad, like years of bad involving alchol and drug abuse.(Not ME) We have had alot of good including two children together a boy and a girl; they are angels ( the two little ones on the top left of my collage). Anyways now after three years of him being clean and sober, we are going 2 times a month to a counselor to learn to communicate better, we are actually great. He tells me he loves me everyday several times, pays the bills, opens my doors, cooks dinner, does laundry, and more. He is a great dad too.. I knew if I waited he would be the man I knew him to be; it just took many years. So if you really love someone stand by him/her no matter what anyone tells you; follow your heart. Would you walk away if the person you love was addicted to alcohol and drugs?
