Who you want to be as a man, a husband a father. The creed you live by, the principles/values that are your center and your guide. Asking questions like how would you would like to be remembered can be helpful.

Those of us here are just the peanut gallery and can ask questions and occasionally give a few 2x4s but that shouldn't be confused with professional counseling. Not that what happens here isn't valuable but it's different. :)Sometimes a therapist can help us safely look deeper, expose our patterns, give perspective.

Interesting how you quantify a workaholic. Is someone who gets blasted every weekend binge drinking different from someone who drinks every night but drinks the same quantity?

Would your W say you're a workaholic? Is she a workaholic?

I think you're doing a great job. Keep on keeping on. Is today the day of the talk?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
