Bimini is right. Everyone in your position has had that same concern. But, if you read around the forum, you will see that it almost never happens that way. In fact, I haven't seen one story where it did happen. The addict keeps on drinking, and they just find someone else to cling to so they aren't alone. Why would this time be any different than the several other times she made promises she didn't keep? Are you sure you are truly done?
