Update on me and the going ons in my life with recovery!
Permalink  

Well school is going good, it is hard and I am struggling in one of my classes, always has to be one! My kids are doing really well in school, my oldest is getting straight A's and her best friend moved in with us for a couple months and that is going great. My 6 year old daughter is doing so much better than last year and for that I am grateful! My relationship is going great too and I can't even believe I found such a healthy and wonderful man that loves me to the moon and back. We have only been dating 6 months and I don't have a lot of free time, but he is so supportive and builds me up in ways I never knew could happen in a relationship. I have never been with someone where I felt no rush and things feel so right. I have dated a couple doozies and well my exAH is still in my kids life a little and it is so sad to see where I have been and where he remains. I am however so excited about where I am now and heading!

I am finding myself very appreciative at this point in my life and I never knew until al-anon and letting go and letting God that my life could be like this. I have so many healthy and loving friends that help support me and just laugh with me about normal everyday struggles. I have a much better understanding of dysfunction and now can have compassion for those still sick. I feel like I am growing in leaps and bounds lately and I know my beloved sponsor Janet would be proud of me on my journey. I have faced some tough things and because I have a program I have handled these things head on and came out the other side stronger and better for it. Every experience I face I use to help others.

I am so excited for what is yet to come, but am really learning to enjoy this moment and day I have before me. Life is not all roses, but with the right tools, perspective and support system it can be done, I have really gotten better at choosing healthy functional people to surround us with. I was once a lone victim in this life and now I have built such a good life for my daughters and I, away from my family and I feel the healthiest I have ever been. I am a work in progress and with God in the lead I am heading towards great things! I miss my MIP family and wish I had more time here to catch up with you all, I do come and read and post rarely. Sending you all love and support on your journey's.
