Recovery and Love

When a couple married for the second time this past Friday it was an example of how recovery changes lives.

They first married around 28 years ago. But it didn't last long.

He'd had a meth and alcohol habit for over 20 years. She wasn't an addict.

Even though she loved him she had to get away. She was powerless to help. And she could no longer watch him disintegrate before her eyes.  To see him destroy his brain and body with meth and alcohol.

In March 1992 he entered recovery. Then he married a few years later.

That marriage ended around 2008. After his divorce he began talking with his former wife. In a short time they were living together once more.

But now, after eight years of being together, they remarried.

And the only reason this remarriage took place is because he decided to get sober 23 years ago.

Another miracle of the program.
