Do you have a sponsor or a church to reach out to? The world's hell as it is, no sense trying to go thru something like this alone. Check out Healing Place Church or Bethany in Baton Rouge...both have strong and genuine outreach programs.
Or, maybe check with your work about their Employee Assistance Program...most corporations have them free of charge and their confidential.
Life sucks at times, but don't do anything stupid. You'll just end up making your loved ones lives suck worse than you can ever imagine.
I'm no professional, but happy to talk with you if it helps.

What's the addiction
Know your wife and kids love you..jeep reminding yourself. But they are afraid to be around your addiction.
Get as much professional help as you can and ONLY when your wife sees long term improvement, will she be able to return.
You wanted the attention? You got it. The outcome is all on you and only you.
You dont want them back over sympathy! So dont go there. You want them back because they see your progress and changed mindset.

Awhile back I posted asking for prayers as I was attempting to kick a long existing addiction. I was able to defeat that demon and the past three days I've failed to maintain that. I woke up Saturday morning to an empty house.

It’s there, you need to try & stay positive & do what you need to do to get back on track & commit to staying on that track
It’s not always going to be easy but it will be worth it
Good luck

been there brother...
the sad and hard truth is, only you can make that change.
change people, places, and friends.
if losing family isnt painful enough motivation, i dont know what is.
dont look at it as a negative, use it as a place to start.

GO get help dude. Go talk to family. Literally anything other than what you’re doing now.

You have a set back. Accept it and move forward.

The advice I've always tried to give my friends who feel like life has reached bottom is take a breath and don't do anything more you will need to face tomorrow. I.E. - don't call the wife and threaten her then get hit with legal issues or arrest. Don't do harm to yourself, you have kids who'll want their dad. Don't break things around the house you'll need. Dont wreck the car you need to go to work. Don't dig the hole any deeper.
I've had friends in many situations. One who lost everything to addiction after having a solid career and high income. It happens. Once he stopped creating new problems, though, the same talents he possessed to gain success were used to fix his situation and he rebuilt. It will get better if you can work on the addiction.

You got this. All ill placed humor aside, it takes a lot of humility and at the same time a lot balls to admit you need help. You beat it once and that means you can beat it again. This doesn’t turn your initial victory into a failure, it just means that you have to play the game again. Don’t give up.
They won’t come back until you give them a reason to - a good consistent environment to come home to. The lights down there at the end of the tunnel, you’ll never get there if you don’t start walking.

I’ll say a prayer for you bro. I hope you have a circle of good friends you can lean on. Keep your head up, focus on getting better

Life is fragile and it slips away way easier than most people think. You are a living witness to this. I wish you the best in regaining control.

So your saying there's a chance?
Jk. Once I was where you are at.
Don't depend on others for your happiness.
If you have a substance abuse problem get clean. It all starts there.

Nobody is perfect and most of us are perpetually wounding others and ourselves in some way and are far worse in ourselves than we could be if we just acted the way we know we should.
But the world goes on, and goodness and love remain, and hope is never gone.
Just breathe and don't give up.

Stick with it brother. It will get better. Prayers said for you.

Stay focused on all of the positives that you experienced as a result of staying sober and use that as motivation to improve yourself. Surround yourself with people that are positive and will encourage you and keep you on the right path. Addiction is a day by day issue that you will deal with for the rest of your life. Being a man is also realizing when you need to ask for help. Stay focused on your personal growth both as a father and husband. Stay prayerful, you will make it.

Just look at it like tomorrow is the first day if the rest of your life. Seek the help you need. You are in control of your future.

Think of the pain you are causing for the ones that love you the most man.
Your poor wife, your poor kids! This will affect them for the rest of their lives if you don’t change today. Don’t let them live with that pain. Man the frick up and be there for them. Prayers for you and your family, but it’s up to YOU!
