Someone told me earlier today that a huge part of building succesful recovery is that we have to do things that make us uncomfortable. I have to move out of my house in about a week and a half when my wife comes home. I have to spend money I don't have on rent and will have to live with another alcoholic (he has several years of sobriety) in his house and obey all of his rules. I wil have to continue to to do all the things I do around here for my wife's business and yet I am giving up my ownership share in that business. Its all very scary and none of it do I really like, but I think I may have finally reached the point where I am desperate enough to do things that make me uncomfortable because I will have to do them all to be sober and have any chance of keeping my family. Good luck August. Use your support network and keep doing the right things. We can't change what we've all done in the past, but we can choose to take different actions today.
