| God must have guided me here
Hey there fellow Christians in Recovery... This is Tigger, a wanderer from Family & Friends. By God's Grace, I hit quick links and came across your long prayer post.
I'm in crisis... AH is my 2nd emotionally abusive alcoholic husband. We've been married. 2+ years. Three weeks ago he took off his wedding ring and said; "I'm done." Just like that. He's leaving, getting a job out of town, I have no idea where, says he's leaving next weekend (of course it was supposed to be this weekend, then mid week next week, now it's next weekend). There's no logical explanation why he's leaving. It's the insanity of the disease.
So... I'm okay! I've been to 3 Alanon meetings, and 1 counseling session, and will continue both. Have been sober for... dunno about 2 months. When things with AH started to feel strange, I laid off the sometimes irresponsible drinking, and drinking altogether so I could be clear. That was a good idea. (I know... DAH) So I'm ready, FINALLY, after 17 years 1st marriage, 2+ second marriage, to begin my OWN journey of recovery, healing, growing.
Another aspect to my healing will be going back to church. Haven't been in about 5 (wow, has it been that long?) years. Today's alanon meeting was in a Weslian (sp?) church. Tackled a couple of people and grilled them about whether they were born again, believe in the Bible as the Word of God, etc. Got positive responses. Anybody know about this kind of church?
Please pray for me to get back in fellowship and prayer, and a close relationship with Jesus.
Thanks!
Tigger
