Today was the first day I did not worry about what he was doing, what he was thinking, and I did not obsess over anything that was going on today. I was able to go through the day without being upset, worried, or sad. We had a nice dinner together, laughed together. He is starting to open up more and I know it also has to do with my attitude. He even talked about rehab briefly (on his own, I did not ask). I just wanted to share this. This day meant the world to me and I hope there will be many others.

I read "The merry go round named denial" today thanks to a good friend who sent me a copy. I am very thankful for Alanon.
