Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have now completed DR and I plan to reread. I have been working on the alcohol problem. I have not drank for over two months. To be honest, my new apartment is right next door to a beer store. Ironic, I know. But I feel that this addiction has taken so much away from me and my family and I don't want to go back to that life. I guess you could say that this was my rock bottom.
I guess I'm a little confused as to when I should reach out and when I shouldn't. Or do I just let her reach out? I have been scouring the board to see if there has been similar stories to mine. Just for some guidance.
Also, how do I rebuild trust? I have hurt her deeply and she is in alot of pain. Is there anything specifically I can do, or is it just time and space that is needed to heal?
