Maybe I can. I love him very much, and this last year has been SO good. Assuming that he stays sober again, and especially if he starts working a program, maybe I can. I had really started to relax and not worry so much. Just Saturday, we were talking and I was telling him how grateful I am that he has chosen not to drink. My life is better with him in it, if he doesn't drink. It's a balance, isn't it?
