Grow together or grow apart

While my sobriety is only into day 51 and I have no expectations of "Hey honey look at me, why aren't you changing too?" there is an issue I would like some perspective from those with more sobriety.

For several years my wife and I seem to have been growing apart. The blame was my alcohol usage primarily. Now things are again coming into focus and while our relationship has become more interactive and cordial, we are simply very different people. We have been married for 30 years.

My question is this: Has your relationship with spouse changed - grown apart - since sobriety? What have you attempted to do to rectify or have you called it quits?

This is weighing heavily on my mind. Again, nothing immediate and I expect nothing from my wife at this point in terms of believing I am changing. She has seen the promises before.

Any input appreciated!
peace
