Tiny sign of recovery?

My AH has been in a full-day outpatient program since Monday. He goes until 3:15 and then gets to work by 5:15.

He's had this job for 4-5 months now, and last night was the first night that he has EVER come home with his tip money and given it to me to put toward our expenses.

Usually he would hit the grocery store on the way home and buy things that mostly only he wants to eat...and when he's off in the deep end, that included beer. Or he would just keep the cash in his wallet for himself.

So for him to voluntarily give me the money, that felt like a moment of progress.

Not getting too excited about it, but my eyes and ears are open for signs of recovery and that felt like one. We'll see how the rest of the week goes. He works tonight, Friday, and Saturday, I think.

Saturday is also family day at the outpatient hospital. I'm looking forward to that.
