The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
It has been 5-weeks now since the reality of getting separated hit home and I started back in AA fulltime and not part time.
My focus has been on step 2 & 3 and it is really helping me deal with the highs and lows. And since returning I have realized what good was started, started to slip due to not focusing on myself. It is more clear now that GOD can be the only higher power, no one or anything else can replace the reality.
The prayer sessions morning-day-night pull me from the bad moment emotionally, I am back on a better path. My soon to be leaving wife even commented on my positive personal changes, caring-considerate-understanding.
It is hard and if anyone has any advise of what I can expect during the next 30-days before she retires and leaves please help because she was a big part of my life that I never thought I would lose
I am glad that you have connected with program again and are actively working Steps 2 and 3 daily. I am so very sorry that your marriage is in the process of change and can only suggest that you up your AA meetings. Learn how to share this pain with your AA sponsor and at meetings and I know you will receive the guidance that will help you through this painful time
((((gofred))))...the slogans are dynamite tools...use them often and that relationship you are building with your Higher Power is primary. Build that relationship bigger and stronger than you did with the booze and you'll be amazed before you are half-way through. Turn your life, wife and will over to your Higher Power and take time one day at a... Also what helps the journey to understanding is the tool of acceptance. Accept the fact of what's happening and not the morality or justice of it and turn it and yourself over. Keep coming back (((hugs)))
