Its 9.15am here, and my wife has just called me already!!
She was telling me about the kids arrangements today, and then a few funny stories about what the kids have been up too, we both laughed at how funny they are, inthe things they do and say.
She was then asking about me again, I said I was fine, felt great, and knew I was going to be ok. But I told her that even though I was very positive about the future and my wellbeing, I was still upset about the hurt I had caused her and that even though I was fine, I still missed and loved my wife and family and that is the only negative.
She listened, never said anything, no its too late, or its your fault, she just listened. I then said I was a good person, and I will be a good person, I just got lost in drink.
She said she knew all that, I don't want to get carried away with things, but we are really getting on well.
She is interested in me, my feelings, she knows I'm addressing my issues, I can see hope, it's very distant and a real longshot, but there is hope.
I just have to maintain my changes, and hopefully in time, I will have my wife and family back with their caring, loving husband and father, rather than the drunken stranger who has been living with them over the last few years.
