That's the way to go. It sounds to me as if you took the right steps, so even if things didn't go as well as you'd hoped, in the long term you're much better off. Focus on the positive things you did (staying clean, being honest with your wife) and remember that the alternatives would have turned out worse.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
