AH is gone to detox and then to rehab for a month. The process to get into detox and rehab is enough for anyone to drink/drug, LOL.
I am looking forward to a good nights sleep and some peaceful days. I am really working on the one day at a time, no projecting, no expectations. He is safe tonight, didnt kill anyone with the car, thank God, and for that I am thankful. I have had nightmares about the drinking and driving, I know to detach, but knowing the risk of the other people on the road because of him this past week made my blood run cold.

i'm putting this piece of your post up on my fridge. ~ when/if i begin to feel anxious,mad, alone, scared, sad or unsure. if i'm t-r-y-ing (lol) to project into the future; i'll walk into the kitchen and read it. if i am working my program and realize i've let myself get into a funk. i'll be morelikely to focus on the moment i'm standing in. take a walk outside or over to the window and Look uP. up into the beautiful ski above. give myself a moment to just stand there allowing myself to stop whatever negative thoughts i'm letting myself take on (that i know i shouldnt be.) I know now its ok to give myself a break. i can allow myself to stop and step back away from any negative kind of moments. negative thoughts. i dont have to dwell on those things i can not control, i didnt cause and i can not cure.
times throughout the day, especially times i know might be a bit more stressful than others.., i remember to meditate, even if for just a few minutes. Take in a deeeep breathe' then Let It Gooooooooo. *** THEN~ i'd get busy doing something I like. read that novel. go to an Alanon meeting. visit the MIP board. paint that wall. clean out my car,.lol. sing a song while i work. hum (lol) or even something as simple as recite some slogans. Let any/all the negative thoughts Go (on out of my way.)turn em' over to HP/God. And fill my head, my mind and (my vision) my sight of things i love. that are healthy and good and right. (((BiGHuG))) Keep Looking uP this too shall pass. your doing just fine
(((((evey)))))
