Well, as of March 3 it has been one month since my AH's last explosive relapse. He has found a new counselor, I have removed the gun from our home and have an exit plan should I need it. We went to his weekly AA meeting on Saturday night where he celebrated one month of sobriety. He is reading some new literature and I see him trying. While I know this could possibly be a short term recovery, I am cautiously hopeful. Without the strenght and support of everyone on this board I know I would not be doing as well as I am today.
I have started my journey of "what would I like to be doing" and have started exercising every day (I didn't do this before because it took time away from my husband, now I do this for me), I am finding a new recipe to try and cook every week, I have started window shopping again on my lunch break (what fun), and am saving to buy a cd program to start to learn Spanish. They are small things but I find I enjoy my days much more, regardless of his mood. I have seen the man I married lately and can only pray that he continues to seek his HP, it is out of my control.
Much hugs and love to all here, you are all in my prayers daily. sg :)
