Can you say a few prayers for me

MM

May your Higher Power hold you in the palm of His hand and enfold you with His unconditional love. May the courage, serenity and wisdom that you need, flow from Him into you each moment of each day.

You will be in my prayers and thoughts tonight as well

Thank you so much. I have made so much progress and don't want to fall back into the cycle of craziness, and its hard because its so familiar.

Awe thank you everyone. I have been able to detach and just started to get sucked into the whole out of control drama again. Hp gave my answer.

I have so much more work to do, ugh I just let the A push my buttons and went backwards into stark raving craziness. Thankfully this was a very good reminder that the reason I was doing so well was that I had no contact with this insanity for two weeks. Back to step one, I am powerless and still need to do so much work.

M even when we "get it" we still make mistakes. It is hard to not lash back at someone who's behavior causes us pain. You now know when you want to change your behavior, that is progress, facing you feel you need more work is progress too!

Horses run back into their burning barn becuz it is familiar.

When we first got involved with an A we had NO idea what was happening! Their disease makes us so darn sick before we realize it. We think we did something or had to be our fault.

It is not your fault you got upset. It's hard to learn that it does no good to yell or throw things, when how do most deal with anger? With serenity one just does not do that anymore or rarely.

When I really faced addiction was a horrible disease, how could I get mad at my A? It was never his fault, his brain is damaged! Even on a program of recovery they have the disease still, there is no cure.

It was ez to detach when I believed he was so sick. I feel so much compassion for addicts. It would be absolutely horrible to love and have a passion for that which kills me, takes my loved ones away and more. To crave it as soon as I am awake. I cannot imagine.

I know also when I researched addiction I really got an education on how it tears up ones body. We forget they are brain damaged. They are broken, no different than a broken leg, it will not work right!

Another thing that helped me was I would say I allowed the disease to push my buttons. The disease came home drunk and tore my curtains down, the disease did not show up to see the kids....

you are doing fine, one day at a time, make each one a good one. do what you can and leave the rest and love you. hugs debilyn

Will say a prayer for you, of course (((hugs))) Still the best prayer that helps me to feel calmer and stay present is the Serenity Prayer. Wishing you peace within yourself today. TT
