I really can't imagine if my wife drank. I never needed any help. Youv'e done wonderful to stay sober under your circumstances. I guess u really did it fir u!!! I just wonder some days if the wife and i are on the same page, hell in the same book? One day at a time. what will be--will be. I have faith. This is the third time in recovery--in with both feet --went out with both feet--no half ways here.
Just hopefully a few lessons were learned. Got to know too much once. Don't know what happened the next time. Guess i wanted to drink more than i wanted to stay sober. FACT--I picked it up myself, it wasn't poured in me.
Yes Rick, I was very selfish. I did it for me, I was and am worth it. I didn't do it by myself, God gets credit fot this miracle, all I did was fall to my knees and surrender. He has done the rest, I hand my day to Him each day and He hands me back my part.I try to do my best, I try not to sweat the small stuff.
Hey, being a couple is tough in the best of circumstances, add alcoholic and it just gets crazy.I have fallen to my knees once again, surrendered the husband, the marriage, the house,but I have my sobriety today and I have you guys and my AA family.
It's all one day at a time and keep it simple. You have to want it so bad you go to any lengths to get it.Have a great sober day Rick, it gets easier.
