I agree with you 100%. I went to AA meetings before I met my wife - should've been a sign to me that I really have issues - and I didn't care foro them.
I don't care about the labels. I now acknowledge that I have a problem with alcohol. I don't feel that I need to sit around talking about it everyday feeling sorry for myself. I am a solutions based person, that's why I like Michelle's stuff so much. I feel the same about drinking. I know that I am the one that makes the choice to put the toxic chemical into my body. I can also choose not to. I actually have cut all my drinking friends out of my life because that is when I get pressured and would lose control. It took me up until a few months ago to really internalize my issue. Now that I have, I am done with it - no doubts. I know that it is not good for me and choose to do more productive healthy things with my time and life.
I definitely will take your advice on consulting with an attorney. The comment she made about children is a relatively new one to me. We talked about it occasionally but decided we would wait until after I get the business off the ground so she could stay home full time.
It's so hard for me because I know that I am a forever changed man. I just don't want it to be too late for us.
