made it to a meeting :)


I made it to my morning meeting :) my husband didn't come home last night. He got here at 6 in the morning. I didn't bother to greet him or ask him questions (he is going to lie about it anyway) I just turned over and fell asleep. At 7 I woke up and went for a morning walk then came home and made breakfast ate and went to my meeting. I have to go to work later but for now I'm going to relax and watch a movie. He has been in and out of the house all morning but I just ignore him. If he is feeling mad sad or guilty then he will have to stew in his mess on his own. I'm ok with me today :)

Wow! You are sure making a mental shift from where you were when you first posted! Good for you!!!! See what a difference living for you rather than him can make in a very short time. Keep coming back! Meetings, MIP, literature, taking good care of yourself - all help you to feel powerful and strong, don't they? (((newgirl)))

That was rocket science for me...I had to work long and hard to be able to do that.  The program, the literature and my sponsors with the guidance of my HP brought me to the point where I could detach like that.  I love all detachment shares.   ((((hugs)))) smile

That is an impressive attitude, sounds like you are breaking free from the obsessions we seem to develop when we live with alcoholism. Keep it up.x
