My AH is having I think age-related physical issues. It is so easy to think about how long he is going to be on this earth. I have been crying almost nonstop. It might be that I am so tired as well. So anyway easy does it right? & one day at a time. By the way he is 24 years older than I am & I am finally after 18 years showing n much more love for him.
He has been sober over 11 years sober. He is a success story I think.
Anyway I am still grateful
((Kathleen)) i do hear you and want to assure you that living one day at a time, in the moment, trusting HP, treating everyone with courtesy and respect helps me to appreciate the beauyt of life and the people I love with acceptance and trust. Your program will serve you. Trust HP Congrats to hubby

(((Kathleen))) - my AH is also older than I. There are times when I fear him passing first and then other times when I accept it. I do know that I am far more accepting of all when I am rested and focused on recovery. Life has thrown me some curve balls in the last week+ and my mind really wants to wonder and project and I do all that I can to come right back to the here/now. It's been a constant mental tug-of-war. What I really love about recovery is we have so many tools to assist us in so many ways that by trial and error, I can usually get to a present spot, and then let go and let God.
(((Hugs))) girl - I'm sorry your down - I do hear you and understand...sorry for the late post!
