Hi Chinup, This is what you wrote at the end of your post. Read it as if I posted this and give me your ESH on it. I can hear you spiraling in your posts about this. Think and Don't React. Do you have a sponsor and some meetings you can get to? Have you read over your other posts on this? Are you HALT? I get lonesome and fight going and hanging out with my exAH at times and all I can do is wait myself out, but I no longer give in because it makes me crazy to spend time with him. At times I feel empty and lonesome, but I realize I can't fill that with other people. I am sending you courage, love and strength.

Hugs chin up,
One day at a time, it's sometimes just one moment at a time. Face to face meetings are great there are ones here 2x a day weekends are different. Plus even if you don't have a. ipod you can download alanon speakers from itunes to your computer and listen that way.
You aren't stupid, just don't glue your hindend to the pity pot. I mean that as a gentle nudge we've all been there. It's just a lot healthier to look at something and find hope.
Keep coming back keep posting you aren't alone. With your hp you are never alone. ;) if you aren't doing meetings please read some alanon lit. Co dependent no more was a great place for me to start.
Sending hugs and much support, p ;)
