I was a dry drunk for a little over a year then tripped and drank for about a month, never really to excess but I was drinking. Then an incident occurred that changed me and I stopped altogether with a different outlook and the dry drunk went away. It was at that time that I began AA. That was about 7 months ago. Dont really know what made me realize 20 yrs was enough for lack of a better explanation, After my incident, I feel like I just woke up. Since then trying to work on us has pushed her away and she made the decision after my incident according to her but has been trying until now. Another problem is my working nights and her being home alone for 12 yrs. I feel that we can re discover each other, I hope. I am trying as hard as it is to give her the space she needs and that I didn't in the past. Being a great father and trusting that She will see how much our family is worth to me and that we are worth saving and being happy. I have done a lot of tough things in my life and career but nothing is as hard as the past few weeks
