675 sober days. That's how long it took to finally work up the courage and confidence to leave my marriage. Husband is a drinker, and a passive aggressive drama queen. He can't even see the emotional abuse. But I can. And although my life will change, certainly financially, also geographically and socially, I'm done. Big breath. Long road ahead.

Hi Pinkynel, I have read on this forum that divorce is not unusual when one attains long term sobriety. You are a different person. I'm sorry it came to that, but if its right for you, then its what needs to be done. Way to go on your sober time, that's amazing.

It sounds like you've taken time to think things through and that leaving your marriage is the best thing for you to do. I'm glad you have the courage to take care of yourself. You will always find support here.

Congratulations on all that sober time and for the ability to make decisions that are best for you. Really is a blessing in disguise. All the best 😊

You are sober, clear-headed, thoughtful and deliberate in your decision-making process. That tells me you are doing the right thing. Keep moving forward. Always moving forward....

The first thing I thought when I saw your topic was "how long sober?" So glad to see the number - what an accomplishment! - and being at a place you can make the right decisions for you.

Divorce is painful and hard, whatever your marital situation. Best of luck to you, and for your new life. Not just sober, but for yourself.

Congratulations on your solid base of sobriety, your courage to see the path you need to take, the willingness to act in honor of self.

Leaving a marriage is a hard and scary prospect.... but more so is the prospect of a life in an unhealthy relationship.

Strength, comfort and sobriety be with you.
