Past CL's of BSSG and their Stories
CL-Found61's story
 
To be invited to co-host this board was a boost to my self-esteem that I really needed. I pray God will help me in my choice of words to give back what has been given to me the right way.  So, for those of you that don't know me I thought it best that I post my story. I'll try and give you the condensed version, but I have been known to run my mouth, or is that keys? LOL Edit Text
My personal info can be found on my profile, so I'll just stick to the details of my H's affairs. Yes, affairs. My H travels out of town most Monday's thru Friday's and is only home on weekends. His first A was in Oct. 2000. That's when I joined this board. I found a note in his pocket from a OW. He confessed to the A. My H is an alcoholic. He finally admitted that too. We we married in 1984. We thought we had rebuilt our marriage to be the best ever. I was on cloud 9 AFA happiness is concerned. Then the door slammed in my face again with D-Day #2, April 19, 2003. This time I threw him out. That's what I should have done the first time. We made many mistakes in our rebuilding the first time, and we've learned from them. H was gone for one month. He never wanted to go, but he did. I let him back in and we are working on rebuilding a second time. He is an active member in AA now. He is in therapy and we will be starting MC when his T agrees that he is ready for it. And, he quit his job! That is something I never dreamed he would do. He has always been a workaholic too. He was so much more loyal to his company than he was his family. He put the company first many times. He has been offered a job with another company that will put him home every night! I can't tell you how thrilled I am about that. We have worked out an agreement on paper that says what the consequences will be if he ever drinks or cheats again. He knows what he will be losing. I pray everyday that he will maintain the strength he needs to remain sober and faithful.
 
Whew, that wasn't too long I hope. And it was the short version. I just want you all to know that I will be here for you if you ever need anything. I will do my best to help you in any way I can. Please use the link to my profile if you need to email me anytime. I've learned alot about rebuilding and how to do it the right way. I want to be able to share that with you and for those of you who aren't rebuilding I want to be there to comfort you and help you through your journey to a new and better life, because we all deserve only the best, and as one poster wrote just last night, we should never settle for anything less........may God richly bless each and everyone of us...........found
