Even though you have not had a drop or desire for a drink since the day she dropped the bomb, i would STRONGLY suggest you getting a solid support group for continued abstinence and personal and spiritual growth.
I believe in rigorously attending AA meetings for myself and hopefully will acknowledge my 19th consecutive year of sobriety on the 31st of this month.
Good luck to you.
NOW..... Regarding my situation.

Interesting???
After 8 days of No Contact and 21 days since my Wife last had contact with our Son, she sent me the following e-mail just a little while ago.
Title: Listen
Fallen by Sarah McLachlan
That was the entire message, so, i looked up the lyrics and "Other Peoples" interpretations of the meaning of it.
Here are the lyrics. What do you guys think?
Fallen
By: Sarah McLachlan
Lyrics
Heaven bent to take my hand And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best But somewhere along the way I got caught up in all there was to offer And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me "I told you so..."
We all begin with good intent Love was raw and young We believed that we could change ourselves THe past could be undone But we carry on our backs the burden Time always reveals The lonely light of morning The wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything That I have held so dear...
I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me "I told you so..."
Heaven bent to take my hand Nowhere left to turn I'm lost to those I thought were friends To everyone I know Oh they turned their heads embarassed Pretend that they don't see But it's one missed step You'll slip before you know it And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though I've tried, I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me "I told you so..." [2X]
