W has been home before me for two weeks now. No more drinking with her buddies or enything like that for a long time.
Yesterday afternoon she texted me "I would like to go out for awhile tonight. I hope that it's okay with you."
Of course it was okay with me and a said that.
Later she called to say that she was on her way. I said "Be careful driving." She replied "I did not drink too much." I said "I did not assume that, just be careful that's all."
I did not ask who she was with. She will tell me if she wants to.
The point here is that my work of calling out her CB in a friendly manner has accomplished many things.
