Kassie, I love that. Its like becoming yourself again.
Bklyn, I have not married but I know a few couples that "are there no matter what". In NONE of them addiction is part of the equation. You are comparing apples with oranges... you are choosing you, self preservation.
I'd also like someone who gave me everything without hassles. It is very telling what AH says about you. He is not worth much.
Of course, if you had no regard for yourself and didn't "rock the boat" he would be saying you are lovely.
It's all about the alcohol and it takes guts to take better decisions for yourself. Keep moving forward, find out what you enjoy and do it, there will be better times ahead!
