DAY 12

[ECHOME]

My wife and I talked for three hours tonight. My sell phone died. Thats a first. We both both laughed. Words cannot describe how much I love my wife, She is my best friend. We talked about staying sober and the work ahead. We are both getting the help we need and expect some bumbs along the way. I know I can never drink again ever never. We talked about how drugs and alcohol ruined our sex life hurt our trust and wanting to run away. Iam so happy she is talking to me we found out tonight how much we have in common, Its is an unexpected warmth, peace, hope and the feeling of being loved I did not expect so early in recovery. I changed my mood to In love. Iam still worried and very sad I cannot be with family. Iam afraid of relapse and I want to work as hard as I can so that never happins. I can never drink or take any kind of drugs again. Knowing that my wife loves me is the greatest feeling in the world I know because tonight she told me so!!! Please keep praying for my family. Thank you guys for all you support and prayers. I hope my story brings happiness to all of you in some way. There is a better way to live. Iam so excited about seeing my my wife in about 3 monthes if Iam lucky depending on court hearing oct 10. I feel like teenager waiting for his first date. I wish you could all be there to see us......Sort of ha ha ha ha. I CANNOT AND WILL NOT DRINK AGAIN. ECHOME

DAY 12

Thanks guys. I now have some assignments to complete for my first part of rehab. They are pretty tuff stuff. Going back years in detail on how I have hurt friends family, work, my sex life ooooooooohh that will shock a few people. Honesty and faith will help me get through this very dificult part. I need to find a friend to tell my life story and be totaly honest and open about all my short comings. The key is I cannot tell somthing to someone that will hurt them. My wife who is my best friend and someone I trust with my life will hear my story. I have not done anything that will cause her much pain or jeperdize or relationship. However it is going to be open honest and very embarassing. ECHOME I CANNOT AND WILL NOT DRINK AGAIN
