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 heard from my "I hate alanon" friend .. lol .. she actually called, I was hesitant to take the call at first. We had a really good conversation. Something she heard in my voice was even though things are not totally right at the moment, my husband and I are dealing with a couple extra things that will work themselves out, ha ha .. at least it has nothing to do with the law. I really am ok. Which it's been a LONG time since I have been there, where I'm really ok.
We had a few good laughs and she said wow, it's been a long time since you've sounded this good. Are you really happy? You know what, yes I am. I had another "missing in action" friend pop back into my life and I'm so grateful for that, I hope she sticks around maybe she will, it's going to have to just be an it is what it is situation. One day at a time, whatever happens it's just about good times and relaxing. Oh wow, I had another person who I lost contact with pop back in my life today, .. good grief .. funny how when I got myself to relax, I have been so isolated and more people are popping up in my life. :) I have even been invited to a house party, ironically by a younger classmate of my husband and his brothers ironic this is how small this town is .. lol. I've only met her two other times. I'm not sure if I will go or not, it's just fun to know I got included, I'm sending out a different vibe and it's amazing other people are responding (as well as my HP).
I likey :)

I hear you loud and clear. We get it all along when it's time for us to get it. I didn't get it as quick as I wanted, and I realize I will never get it all. But like you Pushka I'm enjoying the journey. I can almost see the smile on your face. Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember someone saying....It works if you work it.....
Love meeting up w/ old friends. It reminds me of when I was me. Its good to get out there be around peers and just socialize. I hope your are having fun. :)
xxoxoxo

This is one of the examples where actions match up with words. You posts are always very strong and it makes perfect sense why your friend would comment on how well you seem to be doing. You should be very proud of yourself.
Great job. The program works if you work it....because it sucks if you dont :)
I just posted to Otie earlier that this board has really been a God thing for me, just out of reminding myself things I know and had forgotten. Seriously, I knew I spent all that money on therapy for something .. lol. It has all been buried and I just have been in such a fog I could not access it. I'm in such a different place than I was even 6 months ago. Progress not perfection, at least it's growth. I still can't seem to find a sponsor. I lack social skills that I can convey on the computer and don't translate into real time. Again, it's going to come I am trying to be patient .. lol.
