Thank you all who responded to my last post. You get where I am at this point. I am aware that my A is in recovery for me. She has stopped drinking and is trying a food plan. She has lost a couple pounds. My hope is that if she keeps going to meetings and talking to her sponsor, it is possible that something can rub off on her, although not definate.
I need to be absolutely committed to myself which I believe I am. If she removes herself from recovery I need to move into the extra bedroom immediately and from there work on leaving physically. I think I can do this. I refuse to live the way I did the last 8 years of my life. Please, all you nice people, help me to stay on track and be strong. I understand I am at the begining of a roller coaster ride. You guys are my seatbelt and HP is my guide. Love, Lyne
Lyne...you know that measuring bar at the roller coaster entrance that says "if you are smaller than the height of this bar you cannot ride"? For us who have been affected by the disease of alcoholism and addiction the rule is backward..."if you are taller than the height of this bar...stay off the roller coaster"!! Don't ride the roller coaster and don't substitute the merry-go-round for it either. Keep your sanity. ((((hugs))))
You are on your way As Jerry said " No need to jump on the Roller Coaster ever again". You will continue to stay sane as you work the Program ODAT. Stick with the winners. Remember that working the Steps, with a sponsor and face to face meetings are the key
