I have been reading some of the threads and I came across this from krama13, Letting go letting god~ detachment with love. It means I love my husband enough to let him have the dignity to make his own choices. Whether or not I agree with them, and I try try my best one day at a time to work my program, and keep the focus on me. I have been struggling with the Letting go and letting God, and your quote helped me so much. I love my husband; I just dont love his drinking. I love my husband enough to let him have the dignity to make his own choices, whether I agree with them or not, and I am going to do my best to work my program one day at a time and keep my focus on me.
This is whats going to be so difficult because for so long my focus has been on him. I know I cannot undo over night what I have been conditioned to do for the past 15 years. This is going to take time and work, but it feels good to think about me and not him.
