Starting day 2 today. Went to 2 meetings yesterday, hoping to make one later today. Still don’t know what my wife is going to do. I think she stays for the kids (both in college). She knows they would be devistated if she left me. Going to work in the office today, I think some space will be good.

ODAAT is all we can my brother. Make the choice to stay sober today, and do the next right thing. You may have to keep making this choice all throughout the day. You can do it

Hey man… for now just do the next right thing. I can not promise anything one way or the other but trust takes time to rebuild. I was 12 years in the bottle. And did some really terrible things to my wife. Just keep doing the next right thing. You can not tell her you will do better… you have to show her. It was 6-8 months before my wife started to show a bit of relaxing and giving me some leeway again. I just kept doing the next right thing. Talking when she wanted to. Being there without a fight. Not being a yes man, but doing the things a husband and partner should do. Fixing the relationship and all the apologies come later. That’s why it is step 9. Don’t try to fix things all at once. You are not in the right mindset yet. Right now just focus on living on life’s terms and getting healthy again. It can be done. We got your back brother.
