I was reading in another thread that you were abused as a child. My wife was too. I was wondering how your recovery process has unfolded. What were the milestones in your recovery? What were the triumphs and the failures (if any)? How long has the process taken and what did you do, or are you doing, to get there? What have been the most difficult parts and how did you overcome them? Do you feel like you really understand, now, how your partner felt during the "dry years"? If so, how do you think he felt?
I for one have been really impressed with most of the advice you have given here and I am very happy to know that you are overcoming your demons. You sound like an extremely strong person.
By the way, if this stuff is too hard or personal just tell me to take a flying leap. :-)
