I decided to start a new thread about the our progress because looking back on the old threads was too depressing but it also made me encouraged on how far we've come, maybe baby steps to some but huge steps for us. My desire for AL seems to be less on my mind than it use to be and the thought of an AF day is beginning to appeal to me which in the past would be unheard of, so we're off in 2 weeks for vacation and I know that won't be the time to try it but it is going to be my goal when I get back. My HB is showing some amazing signs in the fact that he is now able not to drink during the day (for a long time he was 24/7) and he drinks in the evening when I get home only moderately and not to the extremes. I can only tell those who are new to TSM that patience is key and change will come maybe not as fast as you would like but it will come. My marriage I thought was over but I can see the person I once knew coming back and I can only hope that he sees that in me as well.

WTE please don't give up you're on my mind often and if it takes us a year or a year and a half to get where we are not under AL please don't give up. I try to remember what we're doing has not been highly studied so we walk in the dark trying to feel our way around but it can't hurt to continue,who knows what will happen. WE ARE THE HUMAN RATS!

You all are so important to me and good luck to us all
