All three ‘people’ and ways of talking, feeling and acting are different. I know that from my own experience. I’m pretty sure that the way we feel, act and talk is even more different if you’re very long term sober (I’ve never got there).

I guess my point is that you should follow your plan. Go into rehab. Come out much cleaner. And THEN see if you feel differently about all that you posted? If not then fine - see where she’s at. If you feel different then - deal with whatever you believe your outlook is then.

In the meantime - rehab is ALL you should focus in on.
