Memories
I woke up this morning to pour some coffee and saw my lovely wife in the kitchen. I said good morning sweetie and she didn't respond and then I had horrible flashbacks to those mornings after a blackout when the response was either silence followed by "I'm not talking to you." Or " do you remember what you did last night‽" or worse, silence followed by her driving off and me left wondering and in full shame/anxiety of what I did. Then I'd start on the bottle..
This morning she said, "Oh! I was reading something funny, good morning! " Then she gave me a hug and went about her business. Life is good. It's been over 2 years since those hell days and can never go back.
SR was/is a huge support. I never posted back then but read alot. Thanks for getting me through the dark days of crushing withdrawals and fear. No AA or Rehab on my small island so it was you guys/gals and white knuckles... Thank you all.

Bit of a hook at the start but a good ending DBRS 👍🙂
After looking at an old photo of me 50lbs heavier than I am now and absolutely dwarfing my wife stood next to me, I have to say turning back into that sad individual is my worst nightmare!
We’re so lucky, DBRS 🙂

DBR - thank you for sharing and thank you for the reminder. I too can think back to those days of shame and guilt and recrimination. Here's to a better life, in every way. Congrats on your sober time.
