I just recently got myself back on here. I knew that I had been here before, back in 2010, but couldn't remember my username, or if I was even still a member here. Well, last night, I was looking through old posts. And... I found my old posts!! Once I saw that name, I knew it was me. It was really interesting to see where I was back then, how I was really working the program. I don't remember exactly when I stopped posting, but I do know that I lost sight of my goal. In 2012, I had suffered a really bad mixed episode with my bipolar disorder and everything seemed to have been forgotten. Now, after taking all this time to heal myself from that, I realized that I hadn't been working my program. My AH and me with my bipolar disorder.. bad combo. I have forgotten to work the steps. I have been learning to detach once again. I am back here now, and going back to f2f meetings as of Tuesday. I have an acquaintance who I met over the summer ( my kids are friends with her kids). She also had an AH. She works the program faithfully. I was thinking about her the other night, and how I should get in touch with her to talk about what I am going through. Don't you know.. the next day she messaged me! It was a question about her AH, wondering if we had seen him, which we haven't. Then I told her that I was just thinking about her. We talked, and we are meeting up before the meeting on Tuesday, and going together. Theres HP working again! Sorry for the long post, I just had to share.
