Okay, I registered for the retreat that will be on the 27 28 29 of this month. I'm looking forward to it. I do admit I am having a little anexity too! But it's all good.
On another note, tomorrow is Friday. The deadline I set for my A to be in inpatient treatment or I was filing for divorce. It appears that anyday he can go. His truck may not make the 6 hour drive, therefore I will have to drive him. I don't know if my driving him is a good thing or not. But the important thing is that he is going. I won't have complete relief until he is actually there.
Have a great retreat...(I wanna gooo...) Just some suggestions from the past keep and open mind and participate. I really do want to hear how it goes for you. It's been a while since I've been to a program function and dearly wanna go.
Consider the drive with your alcoholic being supportive and kill all expectations of the outcome...Turn it Over.
Exciting that it appears he is going to rehab & kudos for you on getting to the retreat/workshop. It will be very illuminating, I encourage u to listen but also to share ~ I know when I share it feels not only like a huge relief to get it out of mind, spirit but sharing is where the real healing takes place. I have often shared in a meeting & being surprised bu what came out of my mouth!
I think being scared or excited is normal, u are embarking on something brand new & it's awesome! We will all be interested to know what u thought of the experience.
I concur with Jerry (aloha Jerry!) and that he got himself in the rehab, consider driving him there being supportive & let go of any expectations for him. Get to the retreat & focus on YOU.
Take care of YOU!
