Particularly thankful for the gift of Al-anon today.  Because of what I have learnt and practised, I was able to detach with love and remove myself from the crisis that my AH was busy trying to create to drink at. 

I saw it for what it was, his stuff not mine.  I declined his invitation to a fight and pity party.  Got on with my own day.  Made a point of checking in with my Sponsor for warm loving support. Had a calm, productive and nice day.  Looked after myself with extra care.    Enjoying a pleasant evening now.

Without my program, I would have got involved and tied in knots and ended up thinking it was all my fault.  I would have been a wreck of anxiety and tummy cramps.

You are a sunshine girl right enough. Love your example of how to do it, detach with love, mind our own business and make a decision to have a good day. Simple.x

Thank you so much for the lovely responses. Has made my day even nicer.

As an update, I remained detached and happily doing my own thing. Met up with my friend for coffee this morning. Lots of laughs with her.

AH did whatever he needed to do, which I neither know nor care about. He is back to being the pleasant and respectful version of himself towards me today.

This program truly works. I love it.

Thank you HotRod, Debilyn, Grateful2Be, El-cee, PP, Luiza, Tash2, Blessed and BreakingFree.
