Depending on the Promise
Permalink  

We went to my brother’s wedding last weekend. My new sister in law’s stepmother was the pariah of the whole group – so controlling, didn’t “let” her ancient husband do what he wanted, etc. You guessed it – her husband is a very active alcoholic and she’s his keeper. I thank this program and you all for helping me avoid such a future. I’m happy and will work like the dickens to stay happy regardless of someone else’s behavior.  --Jill

I have been one of those keepers and let me tell you it is no life.I didn't even see it until I started following the alanon program,coming to meetings,reading.


Yep, been a keeper for 36 years.My own fault,AH got sober 16 years ago I could have stayed with alanon then and saved myself some misery.Your sil's stepmother is not a happy person,I know because I have been there.


It's so much nicer not to control everything.To not HAVE to control everything.Gives me more time to find out what I enjoy and do it.I'm happier and it shows.


Thanks for the reminder.      love and hugs    drucilla

Thanks for the reminder. I would be the same if I didn't work my program.


Yours in recovery,

Thanks Jill...


I have been feeling very much like that lady lately, and it is a miserable existence.  I have to continue on this path I know. 


Love, Heidixx
