My first thought was "I have no flippin idea" but then I thought "time". Time is the only thing that can provide consistency. And that is why I bought a house. Because I think this is going to take a long time. Long. Time.
If ever...I have to add that because you know, we may not recover from this. His timeframe and mine may not match. Our resentments may run too deep. I just don't know today what the future holds, and I retired the crystal ball when I realized my magical thinking was getting me no where but anger.
So that is a very good question that I am not sure I can truly answer today, because although 5 months feels like a long time to me, in the whole picture of drinking vs. sobriety for the RAH, it is a drop in the bucket.
What do you think, Shellcrusher?
