Hiya roomies,I am finally starting to live and let live… I just came back from a lovely meeting, one of the sweetest old timers was sharing of letting live…I learned to don’t use the word "should" …when I say you should do this or that…the message I pass on is that they are not good enough as they are and I don’t love them as they are...I am interfering in their lives BIG TIME…Its nice to live and let live… Hubby told me that he is going to be home when I am back from the meeting and of course he is not, me before Alanon would call him a 100 times but now I just want to live and let live, I want to be relax, read my books and go to bed early…I still can buy that misery in a few seconds but why? I am doing good and feeling good… I am so grateful …still have a long way to go but I am grateful…Love you ALLHoney
Congratulations--you took a huge step!! I love that slogan--it reminds me that the only thing I am obligated to do is to keep my own side of the street clean and to stay out of other people's business--it is so freeing!!

Reminds me of a line in the movie, Stuart Saves His Family....(A comedy about alcoholism and codependency starring Al Franken)... Stuart says, "Maybe I should (do this...) Maybe I should (do that....)
He finally says, "Oh, look at me! I'm should-ing all over myself!"
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha!!
Anyways.....I'm inspired by your choice to feel peaceful ((((New)))) Good for YOU !!!
What a fantastic share. I've been there in the 100 phone call range. I don't do that anymore. I can still get incredibly uptight when the A is supposed to do something though. Trust is such an issue.
