I have begun AA to help work through this problem and have maintained my sobriety. W insisted that I stop drinking if we ever were going to have a chance to R, so this is what I must do. So far so good.
I don't know if she will see the change in my behavior since I have stopped drinking, but this is truly for me and my boys. She knows I have stopped taking meds.
Dont worry about if she sees the changes.
Like you said the changes are for YOU.
Stay on that PATH since those sound like good changes no matter what.
All you can do is make yourself the BEST possible person and the healthiest for your next relationship. Whether that be with her or someone else.
