Just needing to share. Last night after another " I'll be home in half an hour" which turned into 4 hours coming home drunk,I think I finally realized I'll be ok on my own. If it comes to that, I will be incredibly sad and heartbroken but will survive. Had a good rational sober talk with him today and I know he wants to change and says he will but I realize he most likely won't be able too. He accoknowledges his triggers, who to stay away from and where not to go but I don't know if he is strong enough to stick to his guns. I made my boundaries pretty clear I think so we shall see how it goes. Today was a pretty good day.
Wishing you the best Jennyp and sending positive thoughts your way!!

Knowing you will be ok either way show you how strong you are. Just knowing this was such a sense of relief to me when my AH was at his worst. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers.
I know that having "the talk doesn't ever include the voice of the chemical which rules". I pray he will hear the other voice of a power greater than all else. That is what had to happen for me. Keep coming back. (((hugs)))
