Then I discover I'm pregnant with #3 -- and I know I can't stay in this situation another day. So I pocket the rent money, intending to spend it on plane fare to my sister's, in another province, to start again. But first, I needed to challenge that man with one last chance to change his ways...
That was 31 years ago last night ... and change his ways he did, indeed. :-) Michael called AA that night, and woke up sober in the morning, to be taken to his first meeting. He's never looked back, he's never taken another drink, and as a result, he's become the amazing guy I still share my life with today.
We celebrated with a cake at our 7 a.m. 12-step meeting (Dontcha love it? Cake at 7 a.m?), and then out for brekkie.
Then we celebrated by going for our H1N1 vaccination together this afternoon. Yup, we caved ... and I *think* I'm glad we did. How romantic, huh?
