Dom,

Thank you, your experiences are exactly what I need to hear and exactly what I have been going through. I have felt shuttered and have not been able to share my struggles with anyone close to me. I am seeking the courage to take the leap as you have and learn to care for myself first again. Leaving the mean drunk is easy. Letting go of the other half who cherishes me is heartbreaking I know I am not living my best life and I truly have everything I need to be happy. I just need to jump, not look back, and not be afraid of missing him.
