I think what your husband said is beautiful, and perfectly said. We can't get back the time we wasted, but we've learned from it.
I am afraid to use products with alcohol....cooking sherry, nyquil , recipes calling for wine etc. I'm not really sure why I'm afraid.......maybe because I think it will trigger a taste for it? For me, there are plenty of products and recipes I can use without getting nervous....so will stick with those for now.
Your sobriety and life style changes have happened at the same time your mother's drinking has really taken it's toll....which must really make you reflect. Feel good about your future
