As most of you know I've been trying to get my sister out of my home,well it finally happened she left on her own after I called the police she scrammed ,saved me 70 dollars for eviction notice,now I'm got my home back no addicts what so ever living here,it seemed so very strange and awkward all the silence in my home so quiet I can hear a pin drop,but I'm sure I'll get use to being bored and all that goes with being all by myself after years of having someone living here with me addicts mostly,I'm free of that today and hopefully for the duration of my life,still working my steps still on step 4,put my step work on hold for a bit for I've had to pack all my addict sisters things up myself taken days and nights doing this all by myself and looks like I'm got a dog that I dont need she is a beautiful registered Yorky ,sad,she walking around confused and sad looking,needing a good home for free to anybody that loves animals and can get her the care and attention she so deserves.a/sister been running the roads everyday since she left a week ago ,came in my home one late night while I was gone all night and got stuff and moved stuff around i.e. Furniture,I took the proper action and called police and told them about it all they checked it out and said for me to call 911 she ever comes back to my home and get her for trespassing ,this is so painful and sad for me cause I never wanted it to get to this point with her,she has had lots of ,you gotta move that this is temporary stay here but didn't listen and wouldn't 

is ten until I called police then something for her to hold over my head that I call police on everybody,no worries here handing it all over to God ,and trusting him to take care of it ,which I know he will and things will unfold as they should,im sure it's not over yet cause she still got everything she owns here in my home now all packed up sitting in one spot waiting for her to get it only with a cop assisting her,my world s been spinning again going through this unesesary sit.should Ibe expected any better out of her? Lol,my bad......thanks and hugs.   Lu

Good to see you LU! I remember the silence that followed when my qualifiers ended up outside the home. It was strange at first, but in a short period of time, I began to enjoy the peace and filled the silence with music....I love music and we all had different tastes, so they would complain when I put on music!!

One Day at a Time, One Moment at a Time, One Step at a Time! Keep coming back!

Hi LU, so glad you are on the road to serenity. I hear what you said about boredom ... I personally love boredom! It gives my mind room to relax and be open to new positive experiences. Just take things one step at a time. You will find a good home for the dog, and she will be in a good place too. One day at a time

Keep taking care of you And the rest will come

I am very glad to get home to my own apt after
Being away visiting family. I love them, i just love
my peace and serenity much more. I need to stay
Sane and to be around people that are moving forward
In their recovery and are not living in dysfunction or
In their disease.

((((((( LU ))))))

Lookingup, you have come so far. I am happy to see you freeing yourself from the drama and chaos and those who would take our sanity and serenity over and over. You have had the courage to do the right thing and you will reap the rewards. A peaceful and safe home, calm and quiet life that you will most likely come to value. Your working your steps, you are one of those miracles that people talk of. You are doing great, keep doing the next right thing over and over and it will keep getting better and better.

Dealing with family member alcoholic/addicts for me was extra hard enabling because I used the relationships to justify the "have to excuses". 

When I reviewed my enabling behaviors in my inventories and the consequences I was able to stop and keep it turned over.

Good luck with the "courage to change the things you can" and "Keep coming back"   ((((hugs)))) smile

Keep up your FTF meetings that is where true change
Happens. It took me a long time and i still have to
Keep at it. Its the lightbulb going off, everything Works
together. Time takes time, doing the next Best thing
Then the next.

We are retraining and reparenting ourselves so we Can
be emotionally and spiritually healthy. It takes courage
And hard inner work with a loving HP holding our hand.

I love this program it has given me so much. I find the
Spiritual part much easier than the emotional.

(((((Hugs )))))
