Off to See the World

I got sober in San Diego, after my husband decided he was tired of his new wife staying out drinking all night. I thought I was a good wife, but coming home at 2 a.m. after happy hour wasn't his idea of the perfect 50's wife. I went to AA to get him off my back, and found out immediately that I was an alcoholic. Neither he nor I was happy about that news, but I started going to meetings and decided to give sobriety a shot. He decided to stay in the marriage and give it a shot. We were on shaky ground for months, but eventually we came to love and trust one another again, and to move toward starting a family together.
