Things aren't always going to be moving in the direction you want - there has to be a weird sense of normal I think - cos other folks have to get on with their lives and routines like school and lunches that need fixing still happen.
I know I found it a little weird to discover that not everyone and everything wanted to move to my beat and keep the DBing stuff on the boil...that has to be your back-story so to speak.
I had to get used to the fact that opportunities to show W what a great guy I'm becoming again have to happen of their own accord, I can't make them happen and also I just had to hunker down and get on with stuff.
IMO how you deal with normal stuff is every bit as testing as how you deal with big stuff, sometimes more so I think. Its over the mundane stuff that you can demonstrate a commitment to make changes stick.
Well done on the sobriety!!!
