I have got up this morning and worked my program I rang my sponsor and talked about how I want to love me but I feel cruel leaving the a to face the consequences alone. I know the cycle I know what I will get if I keep contact with the A I will be manipulated, I will feel bad about me I will put him first. My A is 34 he is a grown man who makes bad choices due to his illness, just like I do. Today I am going to leave him to face the consequences of his choices and I am going to make the right choice for me. He knows were the help is if he wants it will get it even if I am not there. The best choice for me is to move on he carnt offer me what I need in a relationship, even if he does get sober there are lots of other issues. I finally feel it is o.k to love me
Tracy there comes a time when we have to step aside SO GOD CAN GET AT HIM saving him from himself is helping him drink , every time we rescue we are allowing the disease to continue . good luck Learning that the word NO can be a complete sentence takes time and practice , no need to justify or explain simply NO will suffice .

Since some days are better then others I think it'd be a great idea to print your words and keep them close by. If you falter in your thinking you can read your own words for encouragement. Great post!
