I stumbled upon this group a year ago when I was struggling to get to face to face meetings and it's been a blessing. 

I don't often post, but i regularly read and just hearing 'program speak 'is invaluable .

i thought I would officially say hi . 

Ive had some years of peace due to how severe the drinking of my xah got , but now he is currently , for now, ...(dry drunk ) back on his feet and in turn back in my life , the necessary boundaries are in place but due to our child some form of contact is currently needed. 

the last few days I am ruled by negativity , injustice, the need for everyone to see the truth , all host of negative destructive emotions I cannot seem to let go of. 

im so scared I am back there , and I've lost the ability to focus on all I have now in my life which I have worked so hard to get .

I found this amazing program six years ago, and it truly gave me the courage to change the things I could , yet today the disease is well and truly under my skin.. 

Ive got a face to face meeting tonight . I just wanted to thank you all for making me feel like I'm not alone with this .

Welcome to MIP Faith40 - glad you found us and glad that you joined right in....when the disease raises up here, I tend to blame myself for allowing it to re-enter my life and/or affect my peace/serenity...those who came before me suggested playing the blame game is counter-productive to finding my peace and B2B Back to Basics is always a better approach....there is still something deep within me that wants to try and control, fix, etc. each time - grateful there are others around me who can help me see how powerless I am no matter my age/stage!

Hope your meeting tonight is awesome!! (((Hugs))) - glad to have you as part of my journey!
