Feeling really good!
Permalink  

I'm new to this al anon board, and al anon in general.  I would just like to share how I am currently doing considering I left the addict in my life.
On Christmas Eve I broke up with my addict boyfriend of 5 years and have been doing awesome!
I mean of course I'm still sad and miss the "good ol days" but those days became few and far between...
I have reunited with old girlfriends whom I lost contact with because I was always so worried about my addict bf I didn't have time to worry about anyone else.  I started going back to the gym everyday and just keeping myself busy in general. 
The other morning I cleaned out my room and found all of his stuff and put it in the front closet so when he's ready to get it he can. 
Of course I feel bad and sad for him, and I hope he is doing great or doing a program or something...but I just can't live my life worrying about him.
This is how I am feeling tonight and hopefully it'll continue like this...
Oh yeah I have been to a al anon face to face meeting and plan on checking out more nd maybe even coda.
Thanks for listening!

Tina,

Great !! The program works if you work it. Keep going back to your meetings and keep coming back to MIP and posting. You need all the support you can get.

HUGS,

Aloha Seweasy...great that you check out the meetings and that you think about trying
more.   The program won't give you what the girlfriends give you if they don't know
about what you've been thru and experienced it for themselves.   Keep on keeping on.

(((((hugs))))) smile

Thanks for the hope!  I haven't left my ABF yet, but am away from him for a little while.  I don't think he'll take the steps he needs to, but I know I can't walk away just yet.  Maybe a few days away will make it easier.  But then again it might put me back into the cycle of being there for him!  I guess we'll see.  Keep up the good work!
