Book worth reading for me
Permalink  

I'm reading codependence and the power of detachment - so far it has helped me in calming my thinking and making sense. One part has hit me hard. " she has learned from alanon she could live her husband and stay with him even though he was not sober, ..." It's talking about walking next to the disease without lettin it affect you in a harmful way... When I truly master detaching I hope I have this inner calmness ... *High five for hope and faith!!*

That's a good read sweetr.  Learning that IS breaking free and not taking the fear and insanity with you.   Keep it going. (((((hugs))))) smile

Detachment is my biggest hurdle. But I am taking step by step in that direction-progress not perfection

That's what I did. I found alanon 20 years ago. My husband continued to drink...4 rehabs later he has finally "slowed down". But I learned I could stay and use the tools such as acceptance and detachment and actually be happy in my decision.

Best of luck!
