I can't imagine how hard it is for you to tell people that. My FIL has 17 years clean and sober in April this year. My best friend will have 5 years in May. I could go on and on as i know so many people in the program. I've been to more meetings than i could count. It's so scary to hear what people go through. I'm glad you didn't have to hit the worst of the worst (losing son, job, home) before getting on the right track.
It's a long hard road, but if you are determined to succeed, you can do it. I'm really happy that you've decided to make that change in your life. It'll be the best possible thing for and your family. Really, it doesn't matter how you start out. I know they all say you just have to stop, but I say, so long as you reach that point, you are doing alright!
Kinda makes things a little different from Ws perspective. Hopefully now she'll get to see you be the best man you can be and fall in love with you all over again.
you are in my prayers. ann
