" One thing I have trouble with is that my sitch is reversed. I was the cheater and the W is the person who was left behind."
Yes I recall that. However, there comes a point where you have to stop blaming yourself and move on. You've apologized to her, shown transparency and gotten help. There's nothing more you can do. All of that is in her court.
"When your W came out of the fog, I'm assuming she approached you first to discuss the sitch? how did you respond?"
Actually no. I was the one who approached her at a time that I thought she'd be open to. She was still timid about the situation because of what happened, but it was the first time that she responded to me in a way that wasn't "well I don't care what you think, because we're getting a D". Once that happened, she slowly opened up even more. Sometimes it just takes ALOT of patience.
"In my case, I continue to work on myself and GAL, do I just pray at some point W "comes back" to the M (even though I'm the one who left her behind)? "
No you don't "pray" for it because that keeps you stuck. You just live. All of that is out of your control. But continue to grow into the man you need to be.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
