I was laying in bed last night watching tv. As I was laying there a negative thought came to my mind about my A son. It wasn't anything that actually happened but it was a moment of projecting something happening. As this thought was passing through me I got that feeling in my stomach...you know that feeling don't you?
Well, the AHA moment was this......I have not had that feeling, that I was so accustomed to having many times a day, in a very long time. It was a reminder to me how much better I am becoming.
Every once in a while I get that worried flutter .... it always madem e feel bad again. After reading your post maybe I can look at it as how nice i is not to feel that way 24/7.
Isn't that great when you can realize that? It seems that worried nervousness was a part of daily life before coming to Alanon. It shows growth and progress to realize that it is not a daily occurence anymore!!! Thanks for this great reminder Gail. I hope your holiday was relaxing for you!!
