Hi PickMe
I don't want to give you false hope because so many of us cling to any hope at all way, way, WAY beyond reason.
That said, my wife and I after a 13-year odyssey with alcoholism, co-dependency, and passive-aggression find ourselves together and in recovery today.
The cost? Our daughter's childhood and any hope of a normal life, three houses, two cars, and my life savings.
Was it worth it? I don't know. It depends on when you ask me. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes.. I don't ******* know.
Would I do it again? No. There is no question of this. No matter when you ask me the answer will always be no.
Am I guaranteed she won't relapse? No. It's one day at a time. After eight months so far so good.
Take what you want and leave the rest,
Cyranoak
