Sharing joy and hope

I just wanted to share with you my joy and maybe give you some hope that things can get better.

My AH has been sober for 8 months now. That is the longest he has gone since he started drinking (and doing other stuff) in high school. He is actively working the AA program and it honestly and truly works. He goes to 3-4 mtgs a week. I go with him to one that is an open mtg. Not only is he learning and healing, but we have made new friends!

I got myself a big book and I still read it all the time. I would recommend that everyone in an alcoholic/addict relationship READ THIS BOOK. There is also a movie called "My name is Bill W." about the founders of AA and it really explains the program well also.

My husband struggles some days, but I can really see the difference in him. I went back and read some of my old posts and I just can't believe that we've come so far.
