Wanting him back isn't the point RT

The first thing you should be wanting is

a. Respect
b. Dignity
c. Fair treatment

The exposure process offers you a chance at that... as long as your H is cheating you won't get a, b, or c...

Your H is not going to come back to

a. A woman he has no respect for
b. A woman who is begging him and lost all composure
c. A woman who allows him to treat her like a doormat

Standing up for the marriage and your children will win a lot of respect.. He will be in the short term very FURUIOUS that you locked the liquior cabinet on him but he will respect you for doign so... he just won't admit it for many many months to come

Lock the liquor cabinet, that's the first step to ending this addiction
