I was just going through some of my older posts on here as I am experiencing some familiar pain. As I read my own words, it brought me back to where I was when I wrote them...it hurts to see where I was and it hurts even more to see how little has changed in the lives of my alcoholics. However, Im proud to say that even though I still have a lot of pain, I have come so far since I first shared on here. But the words of experience, strength and hope from all you wonderful people helped me all over again. I am so angry that I was chosen to be bitten by this disease, but so very grateful that it has introduced me to a life changing program and a family of understanding people.

(((corgi))) I too sometimes go back and read my earlier posts. And I see that things have only gotten worse as far as A's drinking. But I definitely see a positive difference in how I'm handling it and making my own happiness. SO that's good! Thank you for sharing. I'm gratetful that you're here!
Now you have me looking back at some of my older posts from my former name and I have come a looong way! Sometimes looking back can really help, but remember not to stare. Sending you love and support!
