Exactly what I was thinking reading this thread. DCS 2 months is great, congrats on that. Don't be surprised that your W doesn't buy it yet. Do you really expect her to?

I read an interesting AA article the other day. It said that we addicts think that as soon as we're sober everything will be great. In reality it's the opposite. All the mess is still there, and now you get to start cleaning it up. All you're feeling right now, the tossing and turning, it's normal. You're actually dealing and facing instead of drinking it away.

There's so much hope in your sitch, and in your W's actions. Hang in there! As for dating, I think you already know the answer to that...
