You know when I finally hit my bottom it coincided very closely with my wifes bottom. She had told me her and the kids were moving out in a month.

At this point in time, I had hit my bottom and knew I had to get sober or die, whether or not I stayed married or not was secondary. My wife let me know that when I told her I was putting myself into de-tox, she told me that I should not count on them being there when I got back because it may be to late to even try and work things out.

So going into detox & coming out I had no idea if I was going to have a marriage/family or not, the only thing I knew was I had to recover for me to live.

My wife & family did stay and are very supportive of my recovery, but that being said having worked the steps I am confident I could have done just as well alone.... well alone as far as a husband wife relationship, while at the same time thanks to the fellowship not alone in my recovery.
