I was away all last week with D, and I received numerous texts from H telling me how much he missed me, couldn't wait for me to come home and multiple I love you's. He also said he wanted to go to MC so I guess I am actually in piecing now!

I am so happy with the way things are and I have never felt so strongly about making choices that are healthy for our R. Not that I always did bad things, esp before my A, but I never really thought about whether or not each choice was good for our M or not.

I am choosing to give up alcohol as of today. I don't believe I drink too much, rarely have more than a couple at a time, but I can just tell it bugs H. He comes from a family of alcoholics, it never bothered him before but it does since my A. I agree I drink more frequently since then but have never felt it was an issue for me. Anyway, I could tell he was aggravated last night because I had a few drinks with friends and he thinks I do it too often. I just decided that I am too happy when we are happy to let something unimportant cause stress in our M and I told him that. He said I needed to quit for me, not him, but I told him it is for me because I am doing it for us, it will improve our M even more and that will make me even happier! I feel really good today smile
