God first, family second, others third, and self last. However, one must find a balance that works for them and their needs.

I would LOVE to be able to work part-time, but that is out of the question, unless I want to become a welfare Mom. Also, it sounds like your wife wasn't trying to go to AA meetings. It sounds like you had a wonderful way of life together. I definitely agree with the 9pm bedtime!!! LOL Of course, I have to go to bed then, too!
BTW--I put myself first by making my HP, AA and my program of recovery a priority in my life. Family is definitely second. Everything else will fall into place how it will....
