30 days ago today I thought there was absolutely no hope. I thought that I was going to have to find a way to make it through life by myself. 30 days later I have hope. David has been sober for 30 days today! There are still tough days that I go through. I read books about it and there are moments I sit and just scream at the book. There are many things I don't understand and that make absolutely no sense to me at all. I still have times when I can't see the positives regardless of how I view the picture but most of the time I am trying very hard to stay hopeful and positive. He's trying and it is very clear how serious he is about staying sober this time. I am in awe of what he is doing. I am thankful more than anything...30 days without alcohol have been glorious! It is such a relief to not have it. So here we are 30 days later in a completely different boat than where we were 30 days ago. Without a doubt the fight isn't over but for the moment I have hope and that is what matters.

I am glad to hear things are looking up for you!
30 days one day at a time is a great accomplishment, and the beginning of the right path. I hope you have another 30 and another and another. I hope you all find the strength to overcome this challenge one day at a time
That's wonderful! Congrats! Continuing to pray.
Congrats to David and you! I hope he continues to follow through and you keep on encouraging him:)
Love the new blog layout, by the way!
Congrats to both of you. I have been there and done that. Things do not become magically easier, as I can sense you've learned. But for me the simple fact that each day he choses us over drinking makes it just a bit easier to deal with everything else. I haven't been actively working on my own recovery (Al-Anon) lately and I need to start. But if you ever need to talk, I'm more than willing.
Stephanie,
That is so awesome my friend. We have been praying! Keep pressing on. Keep encouraging. So happy for you!
I am sorry I didn't know this was going on in your life. I am glad you have hope. I will pray that your husband remains sober and is able to be the husband you need him to be. I will pray for you and your beautiful children. I have alchoholism in my family. I understand what you are going through and I know it won't be easy for any of you. Let me know if I can do anything for you...besides prayers of course!

I'm so happy for you and for him!
I am so happy and glad to hear this. I know it must be nice to see that he is serious about this. I want the best for you and right now it seems as if you all are on the right track. Good luck hun. :)
What an accomplishment! I haven't kept up with your whole story, but I am truly happy for you and your husband. 30 days away from any addiction is awesome!
