Thanks N_A,

things are going great.

He is still drinking but it is no where near as much as he was before. He has slowed down considerably but I dont know if it is just becuase of our remodeling project keeping him out of the bars. I guess I will see when we are all done and moved in whether or not he is still craving that bar setting.

My H has been extremely happy lately. He is happy about our new house and our progress. He is happy about his band and all the gigs they are being booked for every week end. He is happy that he has so many new great friends.

Meanwhile, I have been struggleing with the loss of some of my close friends from our past. They just cant accept my H and what he did. Therefore, they have been very distant and I am not asked to be a bridesmaid in one of my old best friends wedding party. It has hurt me bad. I feel insulted and rediculous.

I was the one telling my h that his friends were not true when he first came back to me. But they are good friends to him. And my friends have dropped me.

Oh well, life needs to go on.
