Thank you fro your thoughtful response to my post. I suppose there are two main reasons for wanting to, as you say "wallow in the gutter" with him: 1) I've been with him for so long--it's familiar, and 2) I feel sorry for him and still love him (I think). At the same time, I have my own issues of codependency to deal with. I attend A.A, have enjoyed total sobriety for three years and hope by continuing to work the program I will learn to make better choices in my life. Whatever I decide about my ex, I appreciate my sobriety and thank God every day for my new life.
