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 had my annual physical last week and just got my lab results back. You know, it's one thing to think you are getting better, but it's even more when you KNOW you are getting better. My blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, triglycerides and weight are all the best levels they have been in the last three years that I have been tracking them. I haven't taken any anti-anxiety medication in almost six months and my headaches have decreased remarkably.
I really think that I have prolonged and improved the quality of my life since leaving my AH 10 months ago. I read in one of the posts yesterday about how Alanon recommends that you wait at least six months before making any major decisions. I waited three years after starting Alanon and truly never thought that I would end up separating from my AH and moving out of our home.
Now I can see more and more with each passing day that I did the right thing by leaving. He's still drinking, but I know that I did what I needed to do to get better and to work on myself right now. I don't know what tomorrow might bring, but for today, I am in a good place, both mentally and physically!
Hugs that is fantastic!!! :) Good for you!! :) We are all exactly where we need to be in our healing and program.
Hugs P :)

This is so happy. You sound so free, healthy, and joyful. The best thing about Al-Anon is that the members sort of find their own answers. No one tells anyone else what to do. Its a growing and learning experience. The things I have learned in Al-Anon are so special to me because no one flat out told me what to do or change about myself or my life.. I am figuring it out as I go. You are in a good place for you, Green Eyes, and that is inspiring!!
