Wow! It took me a while to find some time to write you back because I was thrilled to get your message.

I can't imagine your circumstances with your marriage. I struggle mightily with mine and it's "normal".

I'm earlier on in my sobriety, but it's been on my mind for years. For me, alcohol is liquid happiness, but it turns out I was only borrowing that happiness from tomorrow.

And therapy is where it's at! I've discovered more of myself in the last two years of therapy than the entire decade prior, but it was ME that did it, not just the therapy. I'm so happy you're doing that for yourself.

To know that there are people out there thinking the same thing we are is reason enough to keep coming back here. Your message is one of those that made my heart smile, and that alone was rewarding enough to have published this piece.

Please reach out to me anytime. We're on our own journey but we don't have to do it alone.
