You know when I realized it was over with my ex? The first time he leaned in for a kiss and instead of closing my eyes to happily await it, I was sniffing the air for liquor aroma. I've thrown out the beers, too, but I learned quickly that is the worst thing you can do to an alcoholic. Throw away their stash. It will just cause a binge. That same night he went out and not only got drunk, but almost overdosed on coke! Ah memories.
I can't imagine if we had kids. I can't imagine.
You deserve to be happy and you can be! That is not happiness. It's so hard to do it on your own, I know. Be kind to yourself. When you are done, you will really be done. It might be today it might be tomorrow. Just keep your eyes open and be kind to yourself.
