moving day

God will provide ALL that you need.. :) Just continue to trust in Him and he will make your paths straight.

The pain is difficult- I know and it feels like your heart is being ripped out, BUT, with this pain comes growth in ourselves and a much better understanding of the loving, compassionate person we truly are inside. Allow yourself to grieve and give all the pain to God. I will keep you in my prayers for strength and comfort while you deal with this time on your own.

Hugggssss

Hi Megan, good for you!! I am so glad to see your progress on taking care of you.
you will find things will get better and better. I know sometimes it is hard, it will all
be worth it no matter what happens.

You sound very good. Miracles do happen huh? I too felt better after about a year. All
the skills started to really sink in, and I had my program falling into place.

I hope you will continue in alanon. I find it helps me in every part of my life, whether I am
around A or not.

Going thru the disability stuff and health scares, alanon skills get me thru. Also it has
made my relationship with my adult kids so much better. I learned about boundaries
and not controlling them, or trying too...I know when to be a mom and when to just
listen.

I also get along better as far as not feeling shy, I like myself more.

Feeling serene thru all kinds of things is amazing. Taking a day at a time and seeing how every
thing really turns out to be ok.

Anyway have fun making your home the way you want it.

I am so happy for you. You are quite a lady. love,debilyn

Hi Sanddie and debilyn

Thank-you for the replies.

I am very much trusting in God at this point.

I will stay with alanon I see that it is a lieflong program. I had quit last year for a few months when my A got sober but came back after he started bingeing. The program helps in so many parts of my life.

I had dinner with my A last night and he wants to help me move today.

he is still a part of my life I just don 't know what part.

he said he wanted us back together and I thought the same thing.

But after spending an hour and a half with him I just don't know what I want.

He is so manipulative and thanks to alanon and by the grace of God I see the maipulation going on.

I went to a meeting and then back to the hotel and then I threw up.

I am not sick.

So one day at a time. At my face to face the topic was living in the present and it was quite timely for me.

Hey Meagan,

Did you buy yourself sometimes new and nice for your new home? Something to celebrate you?

In support,

Nancy

Hi Browneyes, thank you for the hugs. I need them. I am lonely but finally at peace

Hi Nancy,

Thank you so much for the support.

Tonight FINALLY (it is like a saga to family and friends who do have not been in the trenches like us), I bought a very nice bedroom set from Jcpenney. The name of the collection? Independence – that sold me. A sleigh bed and dressers and a TV stand, a good start. Thank-you for the encouragement – sometimes all I can do is tread water. But movement….it is healing
