Extra hugs and prayers coming your way. I know your feeling well this weekend. My A is a chronic relapser. I was hoping for a happy one after the week we've had. But I feel myself slipping in my program, and I wonder if he's slipping away too. Sigh, the rollercoaster ride is making me so tired. Hopefully all of us, will get back on track. I need to change my attitude today or it's going to be a long weekend.
Love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn

((((((hugs for you))))))))) Will keep you in my prayers. This disease is so hard, it keeps sucking us in! I hope you have some literature or books to read, to keep yourself on track. This seems to help me a lot. Every day is a struggle, but together we can make it better.
"When I got busy, I got better" is so true for me. I started doing things I'd never done just to get away and keep from being sucked in. I did things that I hadn't thought of doing before, (ie: high school hockey games for instance). You may be pleasantly surprised at what is FUN!!! Force yourself!! Step outside the box :)
love Christy

Mare, You have so much going on ... and you have been handling it. I'm getting better at separating my issues from everyone elses. I look at your post and see someone who is responding to what is going on around her by seeing that certain behavior by the A can be a trigger for slipping. That is huge. Any way for you to think of a way to put all of what A is doing into a package (in your mind, anyway) that is set aside somewhere for later -- because it's not really for you to open -- cause it is A's, it is all A's stuff. Take care - do whatever works for you to work the Serenity Prayer. (((Marmare)))
Lots of support here at MIP. I just got back from a f2f meeting. We are all in this together and can share our pain and successes. Someone said if you can't get out of it get in it and see what it is all about.
