I think by 'finish line' I really mean that point where I've changed enough (in hopefully a positive way) that I'm capable of having a truly honest, open, caring, loving relationship. I don't think I'm fooling myself by thinking I'm a better person than I was a few years ago. I can objectively look at the facts that; I'm no longer drinking and the obsession to drink is gone, I feel much better about myself and I'm gaining some self esteem, and I no longer suffer from depression. This doesn't make me perfect, but I would like to think it makes me a better person to be around. I guess that's what upsets me the most, she doesn't even know, or want to know, the 'new' me.
