I have grown frustrated with my recovering spouse and wonder if my expectations are just too high for someone who's only been in AA for two years (almost). I found a reading in C2C which reminded me of a number of things:
-alcoholism is a disease
-what is reasonable for me to expect?
-I need to adjust my expectations or else I am constantly disappointed
-an alcoholic can't keep every promise
Basically this reading is telling me that to feel better, I need the attitude adjustment, and part of that is looking for compassion. I will try, as I always do, but at times I do grow weary. Progress not perfection. One foot in front of the other ODAT.
