I didn't go to the meeting, but I did call and have a chat with one of the ladies from the meeting. Right before I left he told me he had a surprise for me. He told me to go ahead and book our vacation with all five kids and to pay for the first night. He said to put 15.00 daily into our savings to pay for the rest of it, as that is what he was spending in booze everyday. He also promised to work three extra nights to cover the cost of our hotel while there. He feels having a goal will help motivate him to stay dry.
He told his kids tonight. They were so very excited. Now...if for some reason this falls through, I am not going to sweep up the pieces with the kids...just saying!
