I actually feel better!
Permalink  

I feel so much better now that I let go some of my anxieties about my illness.  I needed to get all that out so I can move on.  Today is a much better day than Tuesday when I posted all that to all of you.  It was very scary to open up to you.
I am learning to accept myself today. I am much better off doing that.  I even realized after I posted that I need to look at the similarities not the differences in meetings.
Unfortunately my doctor strongly suggested that I not go to too many meetings because of the stress they cause me afterwards & don't help my sleep. I think I mentioned that before.
Yeah, my doctor actually said it more than once. I have to agree with her on that one.
Sorry, friends but I have to find my own way.  I will always be on MIP.  I will keep in touch with my Alanon friends & read alooooooooooot of literature.
Maybe you all are saying that I shouldn't stop going to meetings.  Well...I still have a Tuesday meeting that I make so I can open the door for anyone to come in & join in on.  I may not be able to be a good example but I will try to carry the message.
The anxiety is lifting.  I am getting stronger & am not afraid to be me.
Life is actually good if I really live it!
I will focus mostly on the good things & will remember that my HP is watching over me & for that I am so grateful.smile

You know what works for you better then anyone.  Do what you need to do for yourself in whatever way you need and at your own pace. 
I'm glad posting made you feel better.   As long as you're working at it there is progress.

Hi Hoot

I am so glad that posting enabled you to release many of your fears. 

I found it amazing that the more I let people know who I was, the less fear I had and the more peace I found. 

Work your program in whatever fashion works for you.

I am glad you are here.

Aloha Hoot...One thing the program taught me is that I get to be responsible
for all of my choices and all of my behaviors and finding my own way is the
best of all worlds.  I have the freedom and I get to exercise it irrespective of
the others who are there to offer their experience strength hope and opinions.

You know where you are loved.   (((((hugs))))) smile

(((Hoot))),
Thank you for your original post. I have a lady in one of my f2f who is facing similar things. I can not always relate to the depth of her shares, but that doesn't make here any less of my alasister. I learn from her, she inspires me, teaches me, guides me and I am blessed to do the same for her.

I am so glad you are feeling better. Isn't it great to have a safe place to come and just be you? :)

Yours in recvoery,
Mandy
