I have spent several years in her shoes. Yes, your advice is so right. Pray for him and keep loving him. For me, his addiction still exists, but my reaction to it has changed. Like the practice of forming a good habit, I have learned...and often have to re-learn...to let God lead me. Instead of trying to 'handle' my husband myself, I understand I have to let God work his purpose. The things I've learned from the heartache and pain I've experienced relating to my husbands addictions and actions...they've changed me. My advice to any woman in this position, study forgiveness. Giving forgiveness. What it means, how to give it fully. There is so much depth to forgiveness.

Amen! Your blog is always enjoyable to read! God bless you!
