Good luck my friend!

I have been thinking about this for a long time. If she returns to heavy drinking it's over. No questions asked. I have even kept the lawyer on retainer. Just in case. If it's a one time slip up it's going to be a lot harder. I suppose a slip up could be expected but it will make it awfully hard to rebuild the trust. My attitude over the last year has really changed. She is going to do what she chooses and I can't make her change.
