We are in the process of getting signed up for the Recovery Program (I’ve mentioned it in the past) for The Boyfriend’s addiction. First, I want to say how excited I am that The Boyfriend took the step to get pre-approved to pay for the program itself. It took a relapse, which does suck overall, to finally convince him that he can’t just white knuckle himself into recovery, but… sometimes that’s just how it is. Addiction sucks and changes the brain in ways that make it nigh impossible to overcome alone, so I’m looking forward to the plethora of tools and support they offer.

What makes this great is that I’M included in the recovery process, as the “betrayed partner.” When I initially Discovered the addiction, I did a lot of research to find help and, unfortunately, there’s not much specifically for this addiction, let alone for the partner involved. Rewire 4 Success has changed this in such an innovative way that I am (and have been from the start of joining their FB support group) excited to see how far they can go with it. We had a conference call with one of their certified therapists yesterday and went over some changes that had occurred since our initial inquiry and… wow. The neuroscience course they offer in addition to the normal one is fascinating. I do wish we could afford that, as well, but since it’s bran new and they plan to have some trial runs… I expressed my interest in becoming a guinea pig for it.

Anyway, overall I am coasting on a neutral to good feel (the best I can, anyway) about it and I’m wanting to get started as soon as possible. Just have to wait for the financing to go through.
