So Today
Permalink  

So today I wake with only a small amount of anxiousness...this is good for me.  The weekend was exhausting as most of mom's house is packed, sorted, etc.  It is a very emotional journey.  I have not talked to my A since Friday, as he went fishing for the weekend.  I sat last night really thinking about this "have no expectations" "take care of me" - - -  I think after two years of reading, posting, understanding myself, that I might be grasping this.  He said he wanted to think about what "he" wants.....hmmmmmmm I know what I want.  I am mainly posting to see my own words in writing.  I want to be happy.  I want to make NO MORE deals with an alcoholic. (i.e. I will only drink on Fridays and golf on Sundays) I want clearer and better boundaries.  Wow, what renewed strength I have today. 


Hugs Mary


PS my reading today.......LOL Detaching with Love

Mary,


:) It seems that we have more in common than just where we live. It seems that you and I are usually in about the same situation with our "A"s.


I have been working on appropriate boundaries with him for years, but I think for me I also need to remember that I need them to be realistic.


Keep working on you.


Your in my prayers.


Yours in recovery,


Mandy
