just wanted to update you all. it's been a little over two weeks since my a has went to stay at his mother's. he did slip, which i knew, drank and did coke again, and we had a long talk today. i told him i really hope for his sake whether we have a future or not that he can get back on the aa track and if he does to call me. if not i said i would call him in a week or two so he can get the rest of his things. i feel that i have accepted everything. i have prayed to my hp to help me to accept things as they are and to let go. today i did exactly that. i feel relief and calmness. i got back to my f2f group tonight and even asked one lady to sponsor me. she accepted and we will go from here. i feel very proud of myself for getting to that meeting tonight, sharing, and stepping up to ask her to sponsor me. i also got the book paths to recovery. i feel like im on my way..........

You can feel the strength in your post and the detachment with love. We do have alot in common! I got my courage up Saturday and asked a woman to be at least my temporary sponsor (because of the distance to my meeting). This helps me take the focus off of my A and my problems and put the focus on me.
Way to go!! Detachment with love. That's the ticket! Your post sounds powerful and caring at the same time. Just exactly as it should. Best of good wishes to you, Diva
