44. Waking up and not worrying if today will be the day that my BF has had enough and walks out the door.

No more waking up at 4am panicked because I passed out the night before...no more spending the next 2 hours worrying about whether my husband will be speaking to me when he wakes up. No more not knowing what I did or what I said and no more shame.

Knowing that the way my young daughters look at me now (Hero) is never going to change.

Also, knowing that my wife is beginning to love me again the way she loved me before I crossed "that line"...

#59 (I think) I can be a participant in my own life today, not an observer of the chaos I didn't intend on creating in the first place.

#60 I can pay bills and live in a house, not a car or a bush like I have been doing the past 3 years

Not having to watch your children grieve for you when you are dying of liver failure, finally sober in the hospital...but too late.

66) No more blood in your urine or stools (sorry if you were eating)
67) No more heart palpitations
68) No more posting crazy stuff on Twitter/Facebook/internet forums in blackout and then being completely mortified the day after
