Thanks to all of you for replying.


I've always been a head-strong person and that is one of my biggest downfalls.  It has also always been very hard for me to ask for help on anything. ( My father was the same way.)


During our first years of marriage, I learned how to do everything from plumbing to working on my own car, so it has just stuck with me.  I just try to do everything on my own.   I don't know if I know HOW to "let go and let God".  I go into panic mode.

Hello Tk. glad u  posted here today and I can relate to what your saying , if u can sit down and remember all the things u tried to make changes in your relationship and stop the drinking u will see that what we are doing just dosen't work.  So why not let go? When I first came to tis program the God stuff was a problem for me so i just had to let go period. that worked for me. I used the serentity prayer and still do alot ,  God grant me the serenity (let me calm down so I can think) to accept the things I cannot change (them) other people. The courage to change the things I can ( ME)  and the wisdom to know the diff.


A friend of mine says if her name is not in front of , in the middle of, or at the end of a problem she can let it go, it's not hers to fix. Stepping aside and allowing others to take control of thier own lives is the hardest thing I have ever done in  my life. Well worth the effort.  keep commin Your worth it .  And once u are settled in al anon meetings u never have to be alone again. unless of course u choose to be.   Love Louise

I use to go to al-anon meeting here in our small little city, but it kind of fizzled out.  Then I just quit going altogether when I lost my job last year.


My husband has been clean and sober for over 6 years now.  I'm very proud of him for that.  I know it was a hard hill to climb.  What bothers me is that he doesn't go to meetings either any more.  It has been pretty tough without both incomes and it is stressing him a lot.


 


Thank you for your reply.  I appreciate it.  You all will probably catch me on here quite a bit.
