Taking care of "me"


Since my last posting, I really had no choice but to leave.....again.....for the 5th time in 7 years.

However, what's done had to have been done, and for that I am proud.

I love the guy, but finally filed for divorce.

No matter how much he is against the divorce, I can only protect the babies, myself, and finances.

I had a great paying job with high stress. I decided to leave it and concentrate on volunteering at my children's school.

Hopefully my small businesses take off soon or if not, I'll go back to work for the school district eventually. 

In the meanwhile I'll enjoy my time and work on my strengths and my childrens....Health, finance budgeting, and creativity.

I'm super lucky that I get along with my parents and they have myself and the children living here.

My last F2F meeting was last WED. Will have to go again here soon. It feels great F2F or on this message board.

The times in my life that I've had constant Program were the most "critically eventful" yet peaceful. Despite all the peace I have, I want that serenity I had so I'll just keep coming  back. F2F, Sponser, Readings, Journals, and this message board which is a blessing when I cannot get to a F2F meeting......Not to mention, continuously working the steps....I'm back to step 1.

Hi Rose

Glad  that you know the tools that work best.  I have heard it said  that  we are never really lost in the woods.  All it takes is" 12 Steps" to get out into the sun light

Thanks for sharing the journey
