June 20, 2022 my wife left right after I made a year sober. My support system kept me sober. I was in a really bad place for a couple of months. Things started to change, like fog being lifted from my brain. I found a quote that said ‘Thank you for leaving, because I never would have walked away’. That’s the place I got to. I am in a way better mentally then I have been in a really long time. With the separation period and the court time the divorce process took 16 months. I was ready for closure. Then I got that phone call from my lawyer this morning to tell me the divorce was finalized. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I am sad and that’s ok. I will continue to move forward. Just know that walking through hard turds is possible while staying sober. Keep moving forward.
