"looking for love/happiness in all the wrong places"....that old song, "looking for love"  it was the big song in Urban cowboy....I so related to it....I used to go to bars, singles places, anywhere to find love, and it evaded me...I didn't love me so I  didn't attract love from healthy others......now I see that love and happiness is an inside job.....the hardest place for me to go was INSIDE...For a long time, even in recovery, that was the scariest place...I hated me...or at the very best, did not accept me as I was....so happiness evaded me.....Now I *decide*  to look within...be happy within...alanon, knowing me through the steps and meditation is helping me....the only place I CAN find happiness, love, acceptance is WITHIN....
