Im finding the more Im learning the more contemplative and reflective Im becoming. I seem to be going through a period of quiet change.
Things are tough going with my Ason for the last 3 weeks, so Im thankful that I heeded the wisdom of my MIP family and took myself to a f2f....the meeting is only once a week, theyre a small bunch, but with much ES&H to offer.
Drink is still his choice above recovery... how hes surviving I dont know...physically and mentally hes in a poor state...
I find as I learn and grow in al-anon I am able to detach from the insanity of his disease...little by little odat...
Keep coming back Ness...that small meeting just grew by one and when you add all the ones together we can be found in almost every corner of this planet; there to help the next newcomer and the next. HP's got your boy. Try remembering the short form for the 12 steps; "Steps 1-3, Trust God", "Steps 4-11, clean house" and "Step 12, help others." (((((hugs)))))
I've just been attending meetings for a short time (since March) and reading here every day sustains me between those meetings...your responses mean a lot to me.
