Yeah, I have to remember that I almost bolted for good. I was so tired of being disappointed by him. I also made the mistake of thinking that once the drinking stopped everything would instantly change. It took awhile for the change to occur. Where I was taken aback also was his persistance in this R. He could have walked away just as much as I could.

I am also learning so much, his problem was much worse than I suspected. But he is such a different man without the A in him. He is peaceful, easygoing, and caring. Responsibility is still a struggle for him but he pushes himself on that one. These are things I didn't know about him. We actually have a better R than ever and it is early yet, his sponsor says he will change a lot more to come. I can tell his processing is much different than before. A lot of that behavior you see in your exh, SO2, is the A.
