Hanging in there through this
Hello all!!!
I closed on my home today. Keys in hand feeling excited then bam reality hits hard. Worse today than ever. The reality that i am moving on in my life alone without my husband, the fact that i am leaving him behind. No strings, no reason to be friends. It may sound harsh but i can not stay friends with someone whom i love so much and whom we can not be together. I feel like i am struggling with so much, yet the good news is drinking still does not cross my mind. In my mind whether i have 1 day 1 month or one year i am always a newbie, different situations occur at different stages of sobriety and sometimes we all must go back to baby steps. But it gets better with each day, and when those bumbs come along just keep riding them with your head held up and eyes pointed forward, never looking behind and going backwards.
Love everyone

Congratulations on your new home free 
I'm glad you wanted to talk about your feelings. I'm very sorry for the pain you've been through as you adjust to your new situation. Sounds like you're going to get over the hurdles and make a great life for yourself - in spite of everything that's happened. Be proud of yourself.
