(((Hi all)))


Tonite AH may or may not go to his 2nd AA meeting - I am going to divert my worrying and my thinking and obsessing about if he is or is not going, what he got out of it, etc. to the following:


I am free to do whatever I want tonite


I may just go home and watch a movie;


I may buy myself some dinner so I don't have to cook;


I may read a book;


I can cuddle with my kitties;


I can drink tea and be warm because it is cold outside;


or I can just go to sleep, soundly... tomorrow's Friday!!!


I am going to enjoy my evening - by myself, and nurture myself whatever I do, because I finally know that I deserve this!!!  Aaahh free to do whatever I want.... except worry!!!


Thanks to the program and you all for showing me this...


Have a nice evening,


Love, HeidiXXXX

Hi Heidi,


This would be my plan if I were in this situation.  Swing by my favorite Thai place and grab some take out.  Come home, change into jammies, get a blanket, a warm cuppa jasmine tea(to go with the thai of course) plop myself onto the couch with a good book, warm tea, lovely meal, soft music and then, watch kitty dive into plate to steal food.


OMG, that sounds so lovely, now I am jealous of ya with this evening to yourself

Now your talking, that sounds wonderful!  It is nice if he does something to help himself, even better if you don't sit and fret.  Hope you had a GREAT night.  You deserve it!


Keep taking care of you!

Aloha Heidi!!  aaaaannnnd Yahoo too!!  You're free of fear and free to love yourself like you love others.  Go get a "Just for Today" pamphlet also to go with the tea or when ever.  Just imagine....no anchors. You can just drift.   I hope you find fairy dust all over your pillow in the morning.  (((((hugs)))))
