I have been struggling this week because I have plans this weekend that don't include my family. All weekend. I am attending an alanon function on Saturday. Sunday I am going to a frineds house because she is having some sort of party were you get to try lotions and perfumes and stuff like that. She has no expectations of us buying anything, which is great. She said it is just for fun. Now I know I am not going to be gone all weekend and I will have time for my family, but this is for me and I know I deserve it.
I am so excited. I have been doing litttle things for me everyday, and it totally helps.
Three face to face meetings a week. Talking to my sponsor and doing step work. Excercising twice a day. Eating well. Posting here. Posting to a friend here. Staying our of his business and his insanity.
Let me tell you new comers, this program works, but you have to work it. It isn't easy and may take time, but this program is a miracle waiting for who ever picks it up. And as we say in our local meetings, try alanon out, give it a shot, and if you don't like it we will gladly refund you your misery.
Keep coming back!
Much Love,

Mandy,
You set a great example! I wish I had the drive to exercise 2 a day, but I don't. But I walk back and forth to work everyday, and then I go for a walk at night. So I get my fair share in. Glad to hear you're doing so much better. I'm proud of you. Keep up the great work.
Have a blast this weekend!
Live strong,
Karilynn
