New Year Resolution: Join MIP and stop lurking
Permalink  

It is true, I have been lurking for some time. New year- new beginnings. I wanted to finally introduce myself to all of you and say that you are an amazing group. I have been taking Jerry's expert advice and really really listening. I hope eventually I can offer some useful ESH. I drank, smoked, and drugged in the past with my husband, I don't now. He has told me that he is not interested in quitting drinking beer or smoking cigarettes. So... what am I going to do right? I have been detaching and taking life one day at a time. I have mostly gotten past the anger, went through a sad time of almost grieving, and now moving toward some acceptance. I have much to learn and lots of work to do on my side of the street. I am learning how to treat myself well and celebrate my milestones. I realize I did not get here overnight and this will likely be a long process. I have found the listing in our area for face to face meetings and plan to attend in the future. I am happy for today, I came on here and had the courage to finally introduce myself, this is scary and exciting all at the same time! Glad I have all of you to help me along on this journey, Happy New Year.

MorningGlory

Aloha Morning Glory (that is a nice nick) and welcome to the board.  So you have some tools and that is great cause we use those also.   Listening with an open mind was taught to me in my meetings by the old timers and my sponsorship and our literature talks about it also.  First Al-Anon promise kept for me is "If you keep and open mind....you will find help"  I found help that wasn't offered anywhere else and it saved my life literally. Kee coming back and share how this program is working for you so others can learn also.   Glad to be of support.   ((((hugs)))) smile
