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 am coming closer and closer to seeing that I need to stop my addiction of HIM and get into me. Well no, I know I do, not just seeing it, believing it now.
He just said he would go to AA because I told him I would not be around much longer if the drinking continues. He played the card of "I am ruining this relationship with my drinking" I said "it takes two, and I don't want to feel like this anymore."
I figured out that I can probably afford the rent alone, and make it without him. That was a weird feeling this morning when I figured out that I could do it without him.... I might just make it, but I bet HP would help me through... after another drunken episode last night where I again stayed calm (YEAH ME ) this morning he tells me he wants to seek help and that he is so tired of waking up with a hangover...
I know from all of you that its actions not words so I am just going to see if he goes through with it. I am going to an open AA meeting tomorrow night (only thing I can get to in the next two days) and alanon on Saturday. He said he would join me at the open AA meeting after I told him I was going...I am praying that his HP leads him to talk to someone there...
I am going to work on me. I see the light and I want it. I need to go to find me a sponsor and get better. I have spent my whole life without...its time to gain myself some recovery and self love. Thanks....

Good job it sounds like you are working on you and your recovery! I too have been obsessed with my A and need lots more self focus and thanks for the reminder it is time to live!
