It seems that I have a lot more time with my wife now that I'm not drunk all the time. I used to think we never saw each other because of busy work schedules. But, it turns out I was usually to drunk to do anything or passed out. It seems we do have time together after our daughter is a sleep or on a play date. We have more family time then I ever realized.

Well, I was up for a rousing game of Escaped Prisoner and the Warden's Wife, but then she fell and broke both feet - so mostly we've been watching a lot of movies,and trying to get into Dexter.

I feel like all we do is watch TV, Netflix, Movies. I love movies, I just wish my wife was a Comic Book Science Fiction nerd like me.

We live. I am blessed with a marriage that has lasted 32+ years. How she put up with my antics is beyond me. She told me not long ago "You seem to have returned". It blew my mind.

He is so happy I quit drinking. We watch movies and documentaries, go kayaking at the lake, travel out of town to see family, and grill outside in the backyard often. Sometimes we walk and run together, and ride bikes.

We garden and work on projects. We have a tent out in the woods for when we can escape. Spend a lot of time with our dogs. We have a home cooked dinner every night. Have sex. We sit around and talk and read a lot. It might sound boring, but I like it very much.
