The papers were delivered to your house on a Thursday.
You remember, because Thursdays are when you go to your meetings. The meetings where you are learning to deal with your addiction. The meetings where some have indicated that it is smart to avoid making any major life changes for the first year of trying to get a handle on your addiction.
The papers, however, were delivered to your house. As a result, you must deal with the consequences. Your wife has filed divorce papers, you are back at home living with your parents while you come to terms with your addiction. Last night your dad sat down with you and offered what seems like some sound advice though. He suggested that since it seemed the divorce was inevitable, you might as well face the facts and start researching the questions to ask an attorney about divorce. Finding your own divorce attorney, your dad suggested, might help you salvage some of the assets that you and your wife share. Without one, he fears, you will be left with nothing and will be facing financial struggles that equal, and complicate, your addiction struggles. Your father wants you to at least make a plan for this next unavoidable life transition.
