I am so glad to be in the same boat w/ you all! The reason: we are not all drowning! We can all be grateful that we have the support we need right here!
I have so much hope today that I never thought possible. I mention this quite often lately because I have finally found it & hope you will all too!
After so many years in the program, I can truly say that I am "getting it"! It took me a long time to get to this point so anyone who has doubts about getting healthier, please don't give up! You are worth it! I am a testimony to persistance & resilience. I have the tools & sometimes I actually use them.
Alanon has saved me so many times. I was just thinking a day or two ago that I have a past experience w/ an alcoholic that I spent time w/ just for a couple of hours & thought he was one of the ONES. I thought of him because of a song I heard from 1988! It is crazy to think of how many times I spent remembering the past & what I did w/ it! At least I had the program back then & didn't get too serious about that guy! Just a thought about the mistakes I made. But I soldier on today.
I am starting to go back too far in my memory today so I will stop here! I am continuously saboutausing(sp) myself!
