Having reactions (hate that word) from within my relationship with my wife sooooo am trying to reach my sponsor as I was taught. He is a sponsor not a marriage counselor so the focus is on me. That part of the disease where I was discounted and not willingly supported even on a minor issue. My reaction as if I was still in the alcoholic atmosphere ... sick feelings. ((((hugs)))).'
Oh Jerry - huge (((hugs))).....when I reach out to my sponsor and she's not available, a part of me panics. Your words always ring in my mind - I'm not alone, my HP is with me and I can speak to him in the meanwhile.
Know I am sending you positive thoughts/prayers!

Thinking of you Jerry F. Let there be space in your togetherness springs to mind for some reason. That was a foreign idea in my own alcoholic environment, all or nothing old thinking trips me up. Aro'a my friend. Love to you and yours.
Thanks for shari g that with us jerry. its good for my recovery to know that im always going to need this program of recovery. we have been affected by alcoholism and the symptoms come to the forefront at times. i have the tools, sharing with other like minded people, contacting my sponsor, these are the tools.x
We were like minded today el-cee. I did the same and bought myself sanity and serenity just like when I first got here...It works when we work it. (((hugs)))
