I'm back again feeling very stressed the past few days. I don't even know what's triggering this or where to begin. But I'm not feeling well and feel a lot of negativity and want to vent. I know that is not healthy and I feel miserable afterwards.
I finally got a counselor to help me decide the stay/go dilema which is unsettling and now I need to really deal with my needs and my emotions and grieve. I feel so uncomfortable, my A seems to be in good health though and not drinking, though he is not going to regular AA meetings and still is dishonest and manipulative at times. I just can't deal with that anymore- I need a healthy environment to thrive in and this just doesn't cut it for me. I'm feeling very selfish and somewhat guilty and I guess angry that I am in this conflicted place and I just want to scream! And I'm terrified of my future and living alone.... but I know I can and I've lived a very healthy life on my own before - I know how to make it happen. I just don't have very good luck when I start dating - same thing, different man.
Thanks for listening and allowing me to sort out my feelings. I wish everyone a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving....We do have so much to be thankful for and I'm so grateful to all of you!
Remember to try to take it One Day at a Time - try not to stress so much about what may happen in future relationships - Remember in the past you didn't have a program of recovery. You are a healthier person & have a deeper relationship with your HP.
If a new relationship is in your future, you can seek guidance from your HP for help in selecting a healthy partner.
Twinkie, Breathe, Just Breathe - Trust in your HP - you & He will be ok - even better than OK!!
One Day at a Time if that is too much One Minute at a Time,
Rita
