Two weeks and doing great. Looks like my marraige is over but looking at how my wife and in laws handled it and cut off all contact not just me and my family, it's a relief in a way. There will be a lot of crap to deal with but I'm confident and will deal from a position of strength through God who has been with me on this journey.
Thank you everyone!

I can relate. My drinking ruined a relationship. We were living together and I had lost my job, unable to pay some bills but continued to drink. It was her apartment to begin with so I woke up to 2 police officers standing in the bedroom to remove me. She never even asked me to leave. Just called the police instead of waking me up. Together 7 years. I don't blame her though. She put up with a lot of my ****.

Still here. 32 days and no drink. Lately, it hasn't been all unicorns fartin rainbows and shittin cupcakes.
My wife wants a divorce and won't even talk to me. Completely cut me off. All this in the beginnings of a national emergency featuring a deadly pandemic. The nature of my work puts me in direct danger of getting infected and possibly passing it on to my elderly parents. I work some late hours and our need at work has been ramped up.
Add to all this? My sister who is 21 years sober and has been my rock through this difficult journey, got some tests done and I learned at 10:30 this morning she has stage 4 cancer.
Now I have to figure out how to put this divorce on ice while I scramble to come up with a plan to help care for my Autistic nephew.
life is definitely very dark right now and I'm filled with so much pain, so very depressed.

I'm sorry Phoenixrising. Dark days indeed, and you have done so well. Dark days for us all.
Depression in these early days can be pretty much expected as we rememember, reflect on our past. Par for the course.
I hope you are continuing to go to your AA meetings, even if online. You, we, all need support at the moment. Please continue to post.
It gets better Phoenixrising. Time is on your side.

I am so sorry that you are going through all of this, Phoenix. I will pray for you and your sister, and for your situation. I don't even want to imagine how much worse this all would be for me if I was still drinking.
