Saying NO to the disease.
Permalink  

So careful to maneuver through the person that suffers from alcoholism. Even in the attempt to remain sober. I caught myself this time. I said NO! Not this time. I will not allow my recovery slide back not one single step this time! You may have the man I love still in your grips but I will not be yours today!

Al anon is my lifeline. I grab a hold of it and when challenged will dive further into the depths of it. It is working. Thank God for Al anon and Al anon for God! I am grateful to have found MIP and all the things and people God has strategically placed to help guide me through this. What he brings me to, he will bring me through.

 

Much love and support to all that struggle with this terrible disease! Keep on keeping on. I promise the tears are worth it! You are worth it!

Dear Mari

What great insight into this dreadful disease!!!It is so true,  that  we are often tempted to abandon ourselves in an effort to save the alcoholic.  You learned your lesson and instead used your tools so as to keep the focus on yourself. Good work

 I have often said that I was the first person to abandon myself and once I stopped abandoning me I grew and my self-esteem and self-worth were restored.

Your honesty, clarity,Faith  and hard work in the program are an inspiration.

Thank you for sharing the journey
