imLIN,
I agree that drinking did take a toll on her and do not blame her for being frustrated or not yet really trusting that I have stopped for good. She did ask a couple of months ago if I could promise her that I would never drink again as in 5, 10 years or so. I wanted to promise her, but in my heart I could not. I truly believe that I have stopped for good, but I felt a promise like that would be a lie since in rehab I have heard so many wonderful stories that in the end, the alcoholic did slip even if slightly and I did not want to make a promise on something that even if I am doing my best even in the years to come, I know it from these tales at rehab, even the best intentions have slip ups.
I did tell her that only as those time periods come and go that I hope she didn't hear from others that I was still "dry" and that she was with me to see those milestones come and go and look forward to the next one.
