Thanks for all the wise responses I got to my "anger spin" post yesterday. Luckily, I am still sane enough to get it!! Logically and intellectually I do know that only I can take charge and clean up my act. 

I am trying. A huge TO DO list I made yesterday will keep me busy for several days or maybe even weeks.  None of the stuff is fun, but it is essential.  Maybe just keeping busy will help.  I will try to get myself back to church this weekend. I am a member of a very large church; I am just not sure it is the church where I should be due to driving time, size, and philosophies.  I need a church closer to home where I can go and feel comfortable going at night, etc.  I can see that any church activity I pursue will be done alone now; my spouse has dropped out of life with his illness. That is a whole other issue, one which has continued for nearly seven months with no healing and possible permanent damage. That remains to be seen. 

Thanks again, friends, for taking time to post and remind me you are there.

Omajoy!!

I live 1.5 miles from the church I attended and today I go out into my yard and stand in the wall less creation of my HP all around me.  I know what you meant about the comfort within.  For me there is the comfort and magic outside where God moves and assures me.

Look at Christy's post response to Gaily just after you anger spin post. 

You are not alone.  (((((hugs))))) smile

I hear you talking about doing things alone now and possible permanent damage due to your husbands illness, but those things are not certain. Tommorrow is not here. Leave it to HP and deal with today. You can look for another church closer to home, find a meeting in the evening in the meantime, take a warm soothing bath with the phone turned off for an hour, take a walk with a friend, or meet for a quick cup of tea. You hear what I'm saying don't you? Take some time out for you. Nurture your own inner self.

You are doing so well. The growth I can see already is amazing. Your husband and your son are struggling with thier own issues right now and can't be there for you, so be there for yourself. You are worthy of your own time and effort.

Love in recovery,
