I haven't posted for a while and that is probably because not much has changed with my situation. What has changed is that I am working my program very well I think and I am feeling just great about ME!!! I have a great support group whom I am greatful to both Alanon and AA.
At this point I really have just leveled out. I have no anger and no excuitement or happiness when it comes to my alcoholic husband. It is hard to explain but it is like nothing for emotion wise and I am just fine with that, more than fine because all of my focus is on me and my children and that is where it needs to be.
I love talking to my AA friend it gives me hope for my future and shows me reality also and I think that is great for me. I have alot of respect for the people I have met in AA who have become friends and I am greatful for them and their ESH.
I have termendous gratitude for my Alanon friends who have been there for me when I soooo needed there help and the ears!!! and there ESH and for them to give me a swift kick in the A@$ when I needed it.
Any way I am excuited about my program but I am very excuited about my upcomming holiday. SIL and I leave this Saturday we have rented a log cabbin for the week at a lake in B.C. near Revelstoke. We are hoping it will be very serene and that we have a great time with my kids. The best part of it is that we are going with out our A husbands and leaving what worries we have behind for the whole week and our concentration will be just on us and the kids. It will be terrific!!!
So I won't be able to come on to the board while I am gone which will be until the 17th or 20th. I hope everyone here is having a great summer so far and that everything is going well.
Vacation sounds great...use it to relax and be good to you and yours!!!
Sometimes we just really need a break from it all.
I feel that lack of emotion right now too...but, I'm trying to just coast on it. Tomorrow I may feel a dozen different emotions, but til then I can fake it til I feel it.
Hey jj ! I'm so excited about your holiday!! I did that once with a dear friend, but we had tents. No phone, and no way to reach us :) . It was simply, absolutly, wonderful!! I'm so happy for you!! Hope you have as good a time as I did!! Love ya, TLC
