As I read your post, I noticed a sense of peace...a calmness in you. I think all of your hard work has helped you make some significant changes in your life. If I can pick that up in a post, I think your wife would sense that in her interactions with you. Everything you described sounds as though these were the messages you conveyed.
Because you have made these changes authentically, they resonate, authentically.
I am happy for you that you got to spend some time with your family.
Keep it up...I am very impressed with your strength and fortitude.
