I could relate when I read Andrea's post a while ago. Hello, God, want to cut me some slack here? I'm not sure I can take much more.
Lost my job in January. Had to file bankruptcy as a result. Was cleared of ovarian cancer in February after a year of treatment. Was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Still unemployed and uninsured now having to deal with treatment for this. All of this on top of recovering from the breakup with my abf.
It is during difficult times like this I miss the support he brought to my life. When sober, he was such an awesome & supportive friend to me. Was always able to "talk me off the ledge" and show so much love to me.
Now, as I sit alone waiting for my surgery date, I can't help but wish I could hear his voice telling me that everything is going to be ok. That he believes in me and knows I'll get through this. To hear him tell me how much he loves me.
It's just craziness! Frustrating! I know God says he'll never give us more than we can handle. All I have to say about that is: "God, I'm glad you see me as being such a strong person, but it's time to cut me some slack and go easy on me for a while."
Thanks to all my MIP friends for "listening" and understanding.
Im sorry ur going through such a difficult time right now and I have faith that you will get through it. Not thinking I have any too great esh here just wanted to lend support and give you a hug.

hi, this is my first post to this board in a long time. My boyfriend/alcoholic recently left me without a moments notice. He too was my best friend, my lover - my everything. The pain of missing him is sometimes more than I can bear. I still don't know why he left - all I can think that it was for another woman. And with me he was in sobriety - don't know if he drinks now or not. I just want to give you great big HUGS and wish I could do so in person. Know that you are not alone. Pray and lean on your HP constantly. I just can't imagine facing the loss you are facing as well as facing surgery
Can you tell us when your surgery is so we can lift you up in our thoughts.
Do you have good friends you can lean on? Attend as many alanon meetings as you can. Take someone with you to surgery and don't let go of their hand
