Happy to be home


I've gotten to where since its summer time now that I leave my home on Fridays and don't come home till Monday ,and here lately been staying gone a lot through the week ,I'm been getting out with my good freinds and we go to the beach or out to eat or what ever we want to do ,we just have fun,my freind is a life long freind and just become a widower last year so she been staying really busy to keep her mind off missing her lifetime mate until he got sick and had to go it was very sad.and I been going and having fun with another freind that I'd met not to long ago and we have been having lots of fun .now fun is over with for the time being back to business and getting back into my routine ,whew that I have missed dearly,cause when I'm gone all weekend I can't work my alanon even though I try to think of my tools and have used a few of my tools when I'm away from home,I really noticed one thing for sure that when I'm not working my program or attending any alanon that I start falling back big time into my old patterns which is not good at all ,my unhealthy ways of thinking and doing things all come back ugh,not benefiting me in the least just making my sit .really bad cause I'm not working on myself I'm just mopeing and trying to cope at my best and have fun all in one.lol,not good,cause I'm just not as happy as I should be ,the worrying about others ,and thinking and talking about my xabf isn't healthy for me and I even texted him to see if he was ok,seriously lu what was I thinking I was not thinking and being away from alanon for days was like I was letting myself be slowly poisoned by my old ways again.......done...hugs and thanks for allowing me to ramble again......I did really enjoy myself and had lots of fun the best I knew how at the time,......happy to be back ......hugs LU

Great awareness LU. I am glad that you have been giving yourself permission to have fun. Good Job As for program tools, it takes a great deal of practice to make the tools and principles a part of how you think and feel.
Keep on keeping on
