Two roads to recovery


Hello Friends,

Well yesterday was 6 months for me attending alanon....and wow my life has sure gone thru some ups and downs in these past 6 months.....I have learned much here...also know there is much to learn.....

Hub is home from rehab....I see he is trying...attending meetings everyday...but I say we shall see...some days, I feel so anxious about everything like my plate is too full...some days I feel like, well maybe it will work......most days I feel...and that is a good thing......

We are both on our own paths to recovery......odat....I am trying my very best to not look to tomorrow....just trying to accept that I have today....

Love Ya,
Andrea

Andrea12,


 


I am in battle with myself at times looking too much in the future and sabatoging it.  I don't know what it holds honestly but I doom it before it even comes.....thank you for reminding me to live into today because today I was in the future before your post!!!  I am told by a special person in my life that everything works itself out in the end anyways.....


 


hugs,


March

Andrea i have heard early recovery described as living with someone who is speaking a foriegn language no one know whats safe to talk about so they don't talk .  they rush to the tv and fight over the remote anything so they don't have to talk etc . that was certainly our best friend in early recovery  TV.  Have also heard it described as railway tracks running side by side AA and Al-Anon program and it appears as if your not together at all but if u look way downnnnn the tracks appear to cross  and meet and run together . 


Sober beats drunk anyday  keep your expectations low stay outa his face and work your own program and who knows ??miracles do happen your already experiencing them  You in Al-anon discoverying who u are and he has found sobriety (his miracle)  good luck   Louise

REcovery is hard for everyone and living one day at a time is sometimes just as hard... !! Congratulations on your progress on the road to recovery.  I have been in alanon for nearly a year and see myself as a stronger person too. 


We all learn from one another gaining strength along the way.. !!


Keep looking up !!


Tammy
