so pity parties come to an end after all
Permalink  

I have decided at least for now that the party's over. This week has been busy....my boss took all the supervisors out for dinner on Wed and it was a good time...Thursday my new tenants signed their lease (YEAH!!!!!!!) and at least now I know that rent will be coming in...today I even had some car troubles...I handled it without my usual "WHAT NOW, GOD!"  attitude and continued with my day....My A loaned me his car and I was able to enjoy my day....Tuesday night my A stopped by and after a little bit of inquisitiveness on my part confessed to another relpase after he got out of the hospital.  He has stopped going to treatment....I knew it would come and I was able to stay detached and as I was telling another member...I have decided to treat him like a client. It is easier. It helps me stay unemotional.  I was not surpised at his relapse....all the signs of "doing it his way" were there....He is less defensive these days and admitted that he had to confess....whatever....he is so sick....and as an aside...for those of you who would like to read a book that takes you into the mind of an addict...."A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey....fantastic........I am reading it now....tonight is a gf's birthday and all the girls are going out dancing....and then tomorrow my family party in PA.  I am realizing how much my depression is dependent on having things to do....when I am alone and have no options..it is much harder....I have to make a conscious effort to be OK with me....

Hi Kim


 


great progress. I like the alanon brochure when I got busy i got better.


So I tried it.


And yes, the busier I got, the more I reached out and the less I isolated the better I am getting


In recovery
