The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I just wanted to thank all of you for being here on this board. I come in and out, am up and down, commited and lax... but I COUNT ON YOU to be here for me when I get my head either out of the clouds or out of the gutter and start working on my 'stuff'. The YOU's that are active and posting at any one time may change but there is always someone here, someone I can relate to, someone who says just the right thing to give me that kick in the pants to get me moving forward again. I have been attending the morning meetings and was able to attend an evening one last night... every online meeting is right on target as to what I need to hear, HP is so good at that!!!!!! Last night something inside me clicked, I cannot explain to you right now what or why but I know a shift in my thinking happened last night. A shift in the way I see my AH and in the way I will deal with him from now on. His behaviors are just like the drunk only I have only known him sober. He has 5 yrs clean and we have been together 2 yrs. He lays sleeping on the bed for hours at a time in 'depression' and that is the same behavior as laying across the bed passed out drunk. He is playing with his depression meds just like an A plays games with their drinking..I'll only drink beer etc...He sits and gets furious with my son and me for not doing the very same chores HE is not doing either.. projecting his feeling for himself onto us..... Life around here is going to a new level and I have all of you to thank for that.
Thanks for being here and for letting me share... DONE!
hugs and healing, donna/adonaisgirl

No Donna, thank you for being here. Your post is a perfect example that this program works if you work it. Accept it, apply it, work it, and don't question it, just do it, and the miracles will come.
Thanks Donna...you're following up the lessons with practice, practice, practice... very good!! Part of the practice is giving it away like you've just done cause you don't get to keep it unless you give it away. It works. ((((hugs))))
