I want an opportunity to have her back when she is sober so we can experience that incredible love we had for each other in the beginning. Am i being selfish? Will she meet someone in rehab and I'll lose her? I'm so scared.
Matt, I really feel for you. Have you tried Al-anon?

Do you drink as well? If so, you need to concentrate on your recovery as much (or even more than) as you are on getting back together with her.

Try hard to concentrate on yourself now.
