I've been trying to focus more on myself and the kids, rather than worry about what the alcoholic in my life may or may not be doing.

To that end, I've stepped back from some major commitments in my service club. I've started taking time off work to spend with my little ones.

Last weekend, my younger and older kids crashed at my parents' h0use for my weekend. All had plenty of fun (including grandma and grandpa).

I've started reaching out more to those in my Al-Anon group. Many of them have offered help, an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. I know I'm not alone.

Working with my sponsor, I've started to see some real progress in my attitude. There may be hope for me after all.

 I'm at my lowest weight in a decade, all thanks to learning to take better care of myself.

 This is the fourth day of my wife not drinking. It's a good day.

I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know it will be what it should be ... even if I don't approve. I'll see it as another opportunity to learn and grow.

That's all I have for now.
