Keep thinking of the worst case scenario and learn to deal with it if it arrives. Honestly it's good advice I've yet to see if I myself can actually heed it though :-), but everyday I go over worst case scenarios. Look hopefully I'll never have to actually live through them but fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
Keep up the good work your not alone here
Great advice, thank you! That's pretty much the motto I've been going with right now. I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. I don't EXPECT to get back together because of the pain I put her through. All I can do is get sober and work the program... and if God brings us back together then it was meant to be.
