Hi LonelyD, I was just about to tell you the same thing that AmyC did, but she beat me to the punch.....lol. We certainly are not trying to bring you "down" and we want you to come here and express your excitement and happiness.....and it is so great that you can even "feel" any of those emotions this early in the stitch. If your W is truly in MLC then we just want you to be braced for anything from her. They don't call it a rollercoaster ride for nothing. One day it's "up" the next day "down", over, under and every which way. So, it's good to see that she is talking to you and that is a positive sign. Much more than so many others get. I, for one, do not want anything to happen that would make you fall back into that old pattern of drinking and wasting your life away in front to the TV. From your friends reaction......I don't think they want to see that happen either. Did you know that so many cared that much about what was happening to you?
I have not had the drinking problem, but I always figured I would be by that just like I am food! When I get really down in the dumps is when I want to eat. So, please come to us and blow off steam if you need to, but don't hit the bottle again.
I thought I set a record, but then I didn't have the time to spare (age joke)-- but hopefully, your wife will beat me! You know that we all are praying and pulling for you. I have seen some over-night changes in a lot of men here on the board.....but I think maybe you have set a record of your own!! Congratulations on the goals you've set and the hard work you have accomplished. Most of all the changes you have made in yourself have been awesome! Make them last. Don't go back.....no matter what...okay?
Take care, Sandi
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
