Happy birthday to me. 2 yrs in alanon both 7 and the 9th are the 2 times i have for birthdays.
Ok 2 yrs ago..........
My husband and I were physical fighting. The reason why I came to Alanon I put my fist through a glass. My husband drove me so nuts that I would flip out and start to bite and hit, and throw glass. I would cut my arms because I couldn't take it any more. I hated everything going on. I lived in a town that wasn't even that nice. My husband was drinking really bad. I didn't do any of my steps. Since I just started. I wanted to always run away from him, didn't want him to drive me crazy anymore. I was so much in his control.
Ok 1 yr ago.............
I was more in control I went to meetings, Wasn't voliet any more. I had taken more of freedom and made friends. I was not alone anymore. We were getting along better.
Today............
He at this present time is not drinking...but is not in recovery. I have alot of friends. I have little slips but not as bad as it was 2yrs ago. We don't voilt fight like we did. I am now on my 6 step. I am an OP. I am now helping other people. I two have a sponsor and a sponsee. I am doing much better in life.

Hey everyone watch me grow. I go thru good & bad times. each day i am getting stronger.
I too had become violent when my A was drinking. I actually threw a cordless phone at my husband which made contact and was arrested. My court review is next Thursday. I am no longer violent, I did a year of counseling. My counselor required that I get familiar with Alanon. Now even with the drama going on, that I have caused, there is a peace, I work my program and try my hardest not to slip back into old behaviors. Keep your recovery strong, remember to be gentle with yourself.
How wonderful, Happy B-Day girlfriend.....I can remember when I first came in here about a yr ago now....how wonderful you were to me and how happy I am to have met you.....
