Good luck Karate - feel for you! I have a feeling you are going to emerge a better man no matter how things shake out. Congrats on staying sober and growing through this. Stay close for support!

Sorry to hear that Karate but good to hear you are accepting it now as being in your best interests.
24 Years is a long time and it must be scary entering a new chapter.
Strangely enough after 20 months of sobriety and trying to live by some basic principals such as honesty, respect and forgiveness my 13 year old marriage has not got any better from where it was 2 years ago and appears to have reached an irreversible point, where communication is dead. While I was in turmoil about it for a long time I now accept it. If anything we will probably remain under the same household as a couple for the sake of our kids. I just tell myself that "God's will be done" and turn it over. It hurts but I ain't drinking to forget and its one day at a time, one breath at a time.
Your strength is an inspiration mate, I wish you the best of luck and to a new beginning to a brighter future.

I am so glad I was sober during my divorce. I may have lost my mind if I had been drinking. It DOES NOT help the emotional turmoil at all.

Karate, It sounds like you two are in agreement?

I am sorry.

Big hug Karate. I know how hard divorce can be. Proud of you for not drinking.

Karate, I think it's normal for more marriage issues to come out in early recovery. Most of us have been hiding from those kinds of things with our drinking. I do understand you wanting to be 'done', but I hope you aren't rushing things.

Hello Karate;

Just checking in with you--I notice you haven't posted in a few days.

Are things going OK?
