Since I called the police on the ex alcoholic bf, that was extremely abusive toward me, I feel I have changed. I remember whenI first met him, 2 years ago, I was needy and felt I needed a man. Today, after a lot of therapy work, and reading here, I feel so different. I feel Free at last. I am happy in my own little world. I do not feel the need to be in a relationship with a man, nor date. I am content with me and my living alone arrangements. I wake up every day to complete bliss, noone screaming or yelling at me and no more being so scared I am shaking and the medication for anxiety I am taking is not working because of my fear of him. Today, I feel I have been reborn. I feel complete and content! Is this what sanity is? To me this is the most incrediable feeling in the world! Its like I have been given another chance to get my life right! It could be because I am now 47 years old and have grown up! I do not know. I keep thinking, is this real? This complete happiness within myself. I have been on my healing journey for 25 years now and I know I will continue right to the end. I love this program and all of you for sharing! It has saved my life! I went to a AA meeting last night-woman only and it was so good to hear how bad alcoholism can get. I heard a woman sharing about how her addiction has taken everthing, every single thing from her and she is now homeless.. and she was a young woman maybe 30 years old! So sad, It reminds me if I do not keep myself in recovery, I could be like her..all because of my addiction to the alcoholic! Any feedback would be great!
