I am really head over heals in love with her, its terrible that it took her leaving for the fire inside to start burning again.
It took the exact same thing for me. Even though my W had left once already and come back I never thought she'd do it again. But, think about it this way, if her leaving set off those fires again in your heart, maybe it will do the same for her if you start to pull back and she begins to wonder whether you still are in love with her. Maybe you can use that as some motivation. You're living proof that the further someone pulls away from their spouse, the more the spouse longs to be with that person. Keep up the good work CO1978 and congratulations on another day without drinking!
