I'm packing my apt and I'm getting ready to make my big move. My job starts Aug 4th. I move in a couple weeks to get settled in before I start. It's all very exciting and sad at the same time. I start to pack and I start to cry. I get mixed emotions. My HP has aligned everything for me from the new job to the apt and all the little details in between. I can't deny that their is a force greater than me guiding me to my new destination and new chapter in my life. I get sad when I think of my stbexah I think abt how much I did love him and how much I wanted a family and all the things that go along with being married. But in the 18 yrs we were together it never happened and my life spiraled out of control. He was chasing alcohol and I was chasing a dream of my ideal married life. A part of me will always love him he was my first love. After working program I need to make rational decisions and take care of myself. I deserve to be treated better than the way I was treated in my marriage. No one deserves to be beaten, cheated on, or emotionally abused. I'm sad to leave my wonderful Alanon friends. But I'm grateful for this program the city I will be moving to is big and I know in my heart I will find a wonderful group. Thank you for allowing me to share :)
Thank you for your share. You should be proud of yourself that you have chosen a better life for yourself. Your HP is with you for sure! I understand your feelings. I moved out in March and my feelings are all over the place. Transition is hard. Good luck in your new home and job!
TG: I am so excited for you. You have grown so much with this program and you are willing to move to start a new life and maybe dream new dreams? Don't forget us when you move. We'll still be here.
TG I too am happy for you and so glad that you did secure that position . It is difficult Letting go and Letting God, so just remember that you do deserve to be happy and reach for your dreams.
HP is walking with you so please trust this process and keep coming back.
Keep your chin up! When I left my exAH I never imagined life could be as free and awesome as it is now. This program helped me to grow into who I am and I will never settle for less than I deserve ever again. Sending you love and support on your journey!

It is sad tg but your new start sounds amazing, you must be really proud of yourself for having the courage to change the things you can, maybe all those dreams are waiting for you in the near future. Good luck.x
You are courageous and self loving. You have many wonderful friends waiting for you that you do not know, yet. The old friends from MIP will be with you.
it takes courage to take this step, and it takes time to accept your new current situation and be ok with it. I can relate to grieving for all the years lost, where I was trying to create a perfect marriage and he had NO recovery - he was powerless over alcohol.
When i did my big move, i went to a lot of meetings. i am in a bigger city now, so there are a lot of people with a lot of experience in these meetings, and i feel myself learning a lot from going to the big meetings and listening.
one day at a time, i accept my current situation and i take it 24 hours at a time.
