I am glad you like your councellor! That is always great. As for your husband hang in there. I am sure you will both manage to get it done for him to get councelling too. Sorry it is so hard though. Please let us know how it goes.
I'm glad you like your counselor, and sorry to hear that your husband has been delayed in getting into counseling. Hopefully that will work out soon and you'll both be able to go. Keep us informed.
Well I LOVE my counsellor. We could be friends LOL. I mean that in we live a similar lifestyle, realized we had similar friends and acquaintances, etc etc. BUT the catch now is that Ceridian is giving hubby and I the run around. We both called and get referrals and they happened to be with the same person. When the referrals went in the counsellor she called me first as my referral came first and had rejected hubby's but after talking to me we decided WE both wanted to see her so that when we merge we can stay with the same person. So she called Ceridian back and said no no I will take him. But now Ceridian is denying her to be able to see him now. So after calling almost 2 weeks ago he has still does not even have an appointment let alone been able to talk to someone. I spoke with him this afternoon and he called Ceridian again today and is trying to get things worked out. Where do you turn when your EAP is who is stressing you out?
The counselling was very useful although a bit worry some in the aspect that we suspect it was not only marijuana use but perhaps also cocaine which just blows my mind away. Hubby denies that and says he has told me everything but it is just so so suspicious. Time will tell I guess. But the one great thing the counsellor said was to stop the what if's and speculation and work with JUST the information that I have because the what if's and wondering and worrying and thinking are really just as bad for me physically as if it was really the case and it really might not be at all right. She gave me lots of things that are positive in my life to look at and consider and how they will actually help the situation. I am confident that as long as we can get Matt into something soon then we are well on our way to recovery.
Happy to hear about your progress Kim. It does sound like your husband has taken the reigns to begin his recovery. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers as you continue to heal.
We are doing really well. Oddly enough hubby and I seem closer than ever although I am hoping that is not just me being hopeful and "denying" what is going on.
I begin with my counselling sessions Monday and hubby the following Monday. I think he should have gone first, but he feels me, we talked about it and I will go first. I was thinking he should being that he was the one using and would be withdrawing and needing new coping skills, but he seems to be over the physical withdrawal and how it is just the habit of it, but he has been filling that time and need either being with me and/or the kids. We are going to bed together again (have not been doing that for about 2 years) and he is on a movie "date" with our daughter this afternoon.
Kim,
Thanks for sharing this story on your pregnancy and also the techniques that you've used to stay positive.
