I'm glad things worked out for you the way that they have. I can tell you're enjoying your sobriety. I know, however, it will take a while to mend things with your family. If you stay on the path you're on it'll happen. I had to throw away a marriage & a two year relationship before I finally got beaten up enough to quit. That was quite a few years ago; my current girlfriend & I have been together more than a decade. I finally know what a healthy, honest relationship feels like. Don't give up until the healing happens for you, UpDownAround! Thanks for sharing your story!
