I am not at all comfortable with pursuing this route. My H is not a substance abuser or addict. I don't know how to more plainly say that I do not feel I belong in this setting.
I'm guessing you followed, or someone you love, followed this route and were helped by it. I am glad that this service is there and I know it helps many people.
