She's still furious, but she called me. So I guess she is softening up and forgiving me. She said she really wants to succeed. Hopefully the (ex) fiancee will come around eventually too...

I have heard from others that people will usually respond well if they see you're making a change. Sometimes it takes a really crappy situation to bring you around and make you see that something has to change. Let her know you're committed to being sober. I hope it works out for you!!! Keep up the good work!

LG, she deserves to be furious with you. She also seems willing to forgive. That's truly a gift we have to earn from others. Hang in there.

Trust and forgiveness are earned each day we are sober. Most of our loved ones will eventually come back when they are convinced our sobriety is a life style not a diet

I know this is cliche, and I always hated hearing it, but it's hard to deny its truth. "Actions speak louder than words." Even previously untrustworthy people can become credible again through consistent action.

Cheering you on Lawgirl. I know you can do this.

Try to be patient, Lawgirl. A mess that took that long to create won't get fixed in a week. Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose, it's sad to see. Keep working on sobriety and with luck people will come around. All you can change is you, though.
