Thank you soo much for your encouraging words and advice.
Of course, like anyone else, I want to have someone to spend the rest of my life with.
I know better than to get involved with another alcoholic. I was notorious for getting out of a relationship with one, and soon ending up with another. It's like getting a snake bite. I just don't get too close to snakes now. I do believe that the cycle is broken, but I do miss the good times that we had together. Unfortunately, the bad times far outweighed the good.
Thanks again for your very wise words.
