I was the program chairman at my f2f meeting this past Tuesday night. I volunteered! I had it on Taking care of ourselves first!!!! It was such an awesome program so many positive vibes coming at every direction. I was really proud of the feedback I was able to give when someone shared!!!!! These past few days have been really great for me. I think I have let go of a lot fear that has held me back. For the past month I have been waking up and the sun comes through my window and I feel like for the moment everything is in its right place. If my husband decides to take medication that is his choice I can only do what is best for me!!! I am a happier person because I think I am finally learning how to Let go and Let God!!! And I am taking care of me :) Thanks guys for your imput here it has really really helped!!!!
What I noticed most about doing the basic self care for myself, was that because I was not using so much unnecessary energy focusing on the world outside of myself, I have had so much more energy to the point that I'm actually sleeping at night and laying awake speculating about what is the next shoe that is going to drop. I also have so much more time than I used to have, good grief if I could bottle the time I spent obsessing over what might be around the corner I could probably get back at least a whole year!
Way to work your program!! :)

I so hear you! Last night I asked my HP to help me fall asleep. Soon I felt wrapped in warmth and I was quieted, even though my bf was drunk, I was able to just fall asleep peacefully. I am glad you are here MDK! :)

We had the same topic at our Alanon meeting this past week. It's a good, positive topic. The newbies shared that our sharings gave them hope for the future.
Self care is always a good topic. On Wednesday afternoon our topic was boundaries which are so closely related to self care. I enjoy the reminders I hear in the meetings. I am a fast forgetter.
