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.
I have had some really hard days here sprinkled in between ok days, and a few good days. I will say great days when I am 100% over my A. bf or ex bf. whatever. I was not feeling good, and I actually called the phone bridge. Brilliant idea! 1.ironically the first 2 shares were exactly like my situation and those women feeling the same and actually contemplating blocking their A's #. same as me? odd. and 2. today I went to a f2f meeting and it really impacted me to see a woman sitting across from me who said: "Look at me. It WILL get better. I am totally happy. It does improve, keep coming back and give it time. I promise you." It was just extremely comforting and tonight I am really putting so much trust into her words.
I have spent very little time feeling anger, I don't know why just grateful right now b/c I remember wanting to desperately not be angry in the past. I just feel sad and am so grateful that on those days, there is Al-anon!!! What would I do if I could not have access to a place where I could see others going through the same suffering or mental agony. Feels like we are all in this together, here to help eachother. phew.

G its working for you because you are working it. That lady across the table? HP put her right in front of you to give you hope...and you "got it"!! yay!! The similarities between what was going on with others in the fellowship and with me told me that I was in the right place at the right time with the right people doing the right thing...I would get what they were getting. I did get it. I can see that lady sitting across from you myself...I've seen her many times and it gave me hope.
Keep coming back and thanks for the share. (((((hugs)))))
