what the new year brought

Thought I would share.
Ah got his raise and I lost weight (yay)
Also as soon as we catch up on bills (shouldnt take long) he
Will be going to rehab/detox.
Hes been talking about it since his raise non stop and has even
Spoken future tense about company parties weve been invited to as being sober and
Not drinking.
Hes been doing good as well....not leaving the house drinking and going to bed whereas before he stayed up walking around zombie like.
I feel great lost weight made a change in medications which made me yuck!
And had a me day with shopping for two new outfits for myself and moved some furniture around (I was getting bored of the old layout)
Also hes become more caring to my needs and feelings even going as far as asking me
Before he does something even something as simple or past tense normal as buying alcohol...so instead of lying hes outfront about it and then drinks the bare minimum instead of what seems like a gallon lol
Not getting my hopes up here but I feel like I can breath a little and regardless I am making positive changes to myself but glad he is following.

It's not easy, but reading your post, I'm happy that he's looking forward to doing the right thing, and in the meantime, he is doing all he can to do the right thing.
