So I spent last year with the ABF. It was a beautiful day. We sat outside and laid in the sun. We also cooked Easter dinner together for the first time. So far so great.
Of course he had to sneak away here and there to smoke, me being naive.
By the time Easter dinner was served, he basically fell asleep in his plate. I had enough time to gather up my dishes and drive home. Halfway home I get the phone call. All the excuses in the world. I didn't return. Too bad I will never forget that one!
This year, I have my kids and having the best Easter ever. I feel so good! These are the people who matter. Just wanted to share how much difference a year makes. Ugh, at least I learned and remember. Well maybe I should forget.
Any one having a great Easter? Always like to hear about it.
That's a great supportive, hopeful post Member...You learn fast and make better decisions for your happiness...I am working for that also; daily.
I am also an AA member and a co-founder of AA at the Bay in Hilo Hawaii. This was another traditional "AA at the Bay, Easter Feaster" a pot luck group supported meal after the meeting. We had 60 or so members attend and some invited family which shows how recovered(ing) people love and inter-react together. I love to sit and listen to the journies with an open mind as taught by Al-Anon. I filtered the event this morning thru the word and thought "ressurection" remembering how my HP brought me to and introduced me to the Al-Anon Family Groups and how the tough learning and changing came about even up to and including AA after 9 years of being alcohol free in Al-Anon. This is truely for me an "inside out" spiritual solution to a physical and potentially fatal disease. This has been a miracle in progress in my life and because it has is one reason I was led to this MIP forum and decided to stay. My life was honestly over just before reaching the doors of Al-Anon and I was looking for a place to end it...How cunning, powerful and baffling that my HP knew that the best way to end it was in the rooms of Al-Anon.
I didn't end my life as most would understand...I ended how I was living my life and now?....
What an awesome flashback...lots of FLASH!! Mahalo Akua...thank you God.
