So of all days yesterday and I could not access the board! My AW called me mid morning to say she was going home from work because she was taking the day off. She said she was stopping by the grocery store before going to the house. I immediately felt deja vu coming on. The last time this happened I found her drinking when I went home during the day to check on her. I made a point of not going home and not calling during the middle of the day. While I did some wondering all day I dd not engage. While I don't think she drank, I walked in the door not caring whether she did or not. Small progress as I am not there yet. The day that this happens and I do not think about her drinking or becoming anxious will be welcome but I will take what I can get.
That my friend isn't a SMALL growth...that is major that is detachment; that is letting go and letting God. Thanks for bringing it here...gonna go practice that somemore myself. ((((hugs))))
I'm so pleased for you, thank you for sharing this with us. It helps me see that the personnal growth that Al-Anon teaches is all around me in the people who work this programme. I had a "small progress" yesterday too. I think my "small progress" was actually bigger than I give it credit for, maybe yours is too? Only you know what your past behaviours were. Thanks again :)
