I was just sitting here thinking this morning about how we just follow along in life sometimes....how easy it is to get so caught up in making everything seem perfect that you can't see what is right in front of you.....get so use to just going along.....we forget how to get on with our lives....anyway, my life is better in most ways now I do have peace.....I don't have to wait to see if the A is sober today.....I love my husband....after 20 yrs of marriage, I have to bury it...I have to move forward alone.....and that is ok because it is my choice...
Choices are a funny thing....we sometimes don't know which way to go with it...and sometimes our choices are made for us.....for me.....the choice I made about not living with the life of alcoholism and drug addiction was the best thing I have done for myself in my entire life.....so now that I can see it is the right choice....I can see a ray of sunshine in my life....which is hope.....hope that I will find happiness in my life again...I liked being married, I enjoy watching a movie and relaxing....I am not sure how the single life will be....but what the hay....time to find out what else is out there and keep moving forward.....
Discovering choice was really big for me. And the dumb thing is it was there all along. I think we get so bogged down and miserable while we're wrapped up in the addiction that we just forget that choice is even a possibility.
What I've also discovered beyond having a choice in my life is that I can create my choices. Not just asking myself "do I want to do this or that?" about what arises in my day"... but what can I do to create the day I'd like to have?
take care Christy

You really do sound well. I often say, It's not what I wanted -- but it's really not that bad. Most of the time it's pretty good. It's amazing the serenity of acceptance, being able to say it is what it is, and keep moving forward.
I'm so glad for you and your new found peace. You are a ray of hope
