All - thank you for the kind words, but I assure you it is she who is the foundation of our home. We are fortunate though to have matured together since college, so there is no separation between us. Hard to explain, but our union is a true one - made quitting a non event. That said - I was a flaming alcoholic, so believe me quitting was a necessity.
Thank you so much for your story. It is truly wonderful to read about such a positive recovery for a couple. I have received some rather negative responses to being in a relationship with an alcoholic. The typical response is to leave, get out why you can, or it will never work.
Yes, it is hard and trying but I truly do want my relationship to come to end. I know it is a long road and there may be many set backs (which I have shared and vented here).
Thank you again for such a wonderful and inspiring story!
