Today is a good day . I got out of the hospital last Thursday and put on the right meds and hopeful I can stay in the moment and in the day . I let myself become a wreck and ended up having a mental emtional breakdown that lead me in the hospital . I was running around with my head cut off , worried about the week the day before it even arrived . Today im in the day and only living in theday . I deside I like me and I like me enought to finally put me first and take care of my health . Being away for awhile didn't have me thinking about the problems I had that lead me in the hospital but led me to think of ways to start caring for myself . Self care is something I learned to do every day for myself since im the only one that can do it and it's up to me to take care of me ... I'm going to start tendering meetings again soon as I am a little bit better . Today easter was great considering past 3 Easters were horrible .one easter my ex A was with another woman the next year easter my Ex A was in jail . This Easter my ex A and I and the children got together and had our first sober non fighting or arguing dinner , it was wonderful that we were able to come together after all that we both been threw and the children thought it was strange to see mom and dad having a holiday dinner together and no fighting . . So let it be said exs can get along better sometimes than being married . I'm grateful that he is health and sober today and if he reads this i thank you for the wonderful dinner you cooked for us .
Love wisdom
Happy Easter to you too Wisdom, it's good to hear from you!
I had to learn self care from scratch too, it's quite a hard thing to learn as an adult isn't it?
Glad to hear you are feeling positive and living in the now.

Hi wisdom, good post. Living each day at a time seems to be where reality is and for me reality is the best place to be. Im glad you and your ex managed to be civil. Ive got there with my ex too. We are civil with each other. Its due to learnin g to forgive and have compassion. My ex is an alcoholic, he never chose it and hes in aa now so hes doing something different. The symptoms he is working on are the very same symptoms i have, minus the alcohol. This keeps my ego in check. We are both flawed people affected by a baffljng disease working on being menatlly sober. Thanks for your post. Hapoy easter.

(((((Wisdom))))) Happy Easter...could have shared hospital time with you as I was in the never never land myself...came home trashed with 4 holes up there somewhere and also with the promise I would be and am getting better myself. Rediscovered a lot and practiced a lot more and recommitted myself to surrendering to my HP first thing constantly because there is so much I am powerless over. Practicing daily. Great for your progress as that is what comes from our practice. ((((hugs))))
