... Not a push to leave
justsaying he survived and I thrived.
I also found the stench of his alcohol disgusting.
We met as drinkers...turned out that was the strongest bond
I changed our roles when I got sober. My new lifestyle
did not include hanging out in bars or drunken risky behaviors.
Did the same to my social circle....all excessive drinkers at best.
I declared my apartment to be a non drinking zone.
Told everyone I was attending AA....most drifted away
Thus I had time to find new friends with my goal
of recovery.
Not all loves are forever
The oddest thing...the men I loved as an active alcoholic
are not the men I find interesting in recovery.
Hope you find a way to enjoy your sober life
