Trumpet, you've come so far! A year of sobriety is a MASSIVE accomplishment. Keep putting your own wellness and self esteem first and you're going to have a brilliant life.

I remember the ups and downs of your sitch, and how quickly it all came to a close. Be thankful it's done my friend, now you have a clean slate from which to work. You hit the nail squarely on the head - I just get to choose how I react and respond. Amen to that a thousand times. You get to choose how you do everything for yourself both on the inside and the out.

Your WW is going to have her own journey, and it sounds like OM does too. From what little you've written, I doubt they'll survive. It feels like avoidance of reality is their main coping mechanism. A house of cards never stands for long though.

You're a huge inspiration around here, to new and even those of us who were here before or right when you joined. Keep putting that best foot forward, battling what lay underneath your addiction, and being a great father to your kids. You're oh so right, you can't control anything your EX WW does, nor OM, nor anything else out in the world for that matter. But you can control you.

Congrats at being a rock star.
