OnMyWay7

After years of struggling my partner of 16 years and I are splitting. We have 4 kids and now my concern is with them and my not drinking. I'm sad but I'm relieved. Within a week she made a bid on another house and although that's kind of fast (we haven't spoken to the kids yet) I'm happy that she's moving on and found a place she likes.

I know I'm the one who wanted this but I'm still sad and scared. I don't want to go back - just venting I guess. Coming here because my AV has been a bit of an annoyance tonight.

I just keeping saying "one hour at a time" and think of the kids

Thanks for listening

if you have to go one minute at a time go ahead. It must be hard, but keep strong you can do this.

I understand...my husband left after I had a year sober. We had 2 kids and I was a stay at home mom. I stayed sober raised them by myself, never even dated, I relapsed 10 months after my son graduated high school and my dad passing away. I tossed almost 14 years sober down the drain. Met Dave and got engaged. Now he has been gone a little over a month. Take it easy. Sometimes things happen and it will be for the better.

Sometimes endings have to happen for beginnings to begin, I guess, OMW?

That's a tough situation, Onmyway, but you can get through it. Stay close; the AV likes to take advantage of us when we're down. Don't let it.

I can relate OnMyWay. My wife of almost 24 years has decided she wants a separation. We're beginning the process now. This and I'm just beginning my sobriety journey. I'll be on SR a lot over the next few months looking for support. I'm going to need it, and so will you, I'm sure. Best of luck moving forward...

It must be scary right now OnMyWay but i'm sure this is a new beginning for you. Hopefully without all the stress the AV will go into retreat

Sending good vibes your way
