What we focus on becomes our reality!

Sure does, I have been focussing heavily on my hubbie again, and guess what? I got drunk, I isolated and I sat licking my wounds and I really don't like that place anymore, on my bad days I can say quite honestly well I have every right to feel like this, but thats my choice, progress right there, my awareness of what I am doing to myself yet again, some things jump out right here on mip more than most, like, find a meeting get a sponser, work the steps, along with, what people think of me is none of my buisiness, our husbands or wife cannot come home to an old idea,I am that old idea, it's all going in slowly, so I am chewing over wether to start a group, I know I can, but what I just noticed was? It's taking my mind off hubby, What seemed impossible yesterday is possible today, I'm up and running again folks, zoooooooooooooooooooooom!

Katy,

You said it. What immediately came to mind was a reading from our literature which talked about the three A's:

Attention
Acceptance
Action

I saw that in your post. Looks like you are working on the action part with the thoughts of getting a sponsor and the idea of starting a new group. If there are few groups in your area, think about going to open AA meetings. I have met many Alanon friends there.

Thinking about you
{{{{hugs}}}}}

Katy, thank you. I just love to be reminded of HALT. Especially since it is morning and I am getting amped up on coffee. I am still a bit groggy from sleeping last night.

Katy:

Thanks for your uplifting post this morning! It's full of encouragement, strength and hope.

"What we think about becomes our reality." I get that. It's so true for me.

Being mindful of our thoughts and not cultivating the negative ones that make us feel poorly is one of the many ways to take care of ourselves.

Katy, thank you, I needed to hear this. I think I am surely being led to start a new meeting, it keeps coming up... I know when I want one, so I am thinking after the open AA meeting tonight I will call the Alanon hotline for my area and find out about starting a new group. It does give me something "else" to think about besides HIM... And he is going to the meeting tonight on his own merit, he asked if he could join me.

Goodluck for tonight then, they also say "what we resist, pursist's", 

My husband got sober when I found alanon too, well actually I went to aa first and they sent me to alanon, I am not an a by the way, I also emailed alanon today for info on district meetings, and you know what? your being here too prompted me to do that, it's truly amazing how this programme works, but work it does, if you work it!

I would say to anyone with any doubt or fear of posting here please do, when we think anything we post is a rant or insignificant, it's those shares all the shares that make this work for us and keep it keeping on!

Well you are right Katy... I am going to email alanon too. Great idea. Since I am at work, I can't make calls and by the time I get home I don't have time to make calls... :)

ETS: I emailed the alanon in my area and I will await their reply :)

Oh yeah, so true. I used to think it was goofy to have affirmations posted on a mirror so I would read them. Now I can't imagine not having positive affirmations everywhere. I want to be happy. That was my goal in Al-Anon. As long as I stay close to the program I can stay happy.

It's good you saw where you were, and went right back to healthy thoughts! I like those lightbulb moments.

Katy you have a special way of expressing yourself. Its almost musical!

hugs, debilyn
