Thanks vc, it was great

The way she looked, the way she smiled at the kids playing while we spoke, the things she said all point to she wants "us", the big "but" in that is me drinking

That's why the interest in the aa meetings and how I feel
The call on Thursday about money wasn't really about money it was to ask if I was going to my meeting
This is all on me now

The om?
Forget him, it might not be a PA yet, even if it is, he can't compete with me, he hasn't the history and feelings my wife and I have
He will never be anything to my kids, she knows that

So he's trying, he's trying really hard, but it's a fight he cannot win
I've already won

I just need to remind her of the person I was/am, and not the person I became

She loves me, I know that, and she knows that

The conversation today was great and showed me that I cannot give up trying

I'm not contacting her again, that's down to her
I've sown the seed in her mind, she has to want it to grow

I will have my wife and family back sometime

Thanks guys
