DH and I started dating. We had our first kiss on a ski lift in Big Bear, CA. We were night skiing. smile

To all of you in the beginning of recovery...stay the course! It's hard but worth it. I love my H and he loves me. I would never say that I am happy he had an A...but I AM happy we've had the chance to make our M better. It really is.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Congrats!


I hate to say it... but it did take FWW facing the reality of losing everything for her to finally be able to talk to me, or to even listen to me.

Thankful to have that, broken over the cost.
