Hi Sweeks!

Thanks for being here! I'm pretty new still to all this but I wanted to welcome you. I'm sorry you've had to go through all that you have.

When I first found these boards I was just torturing myself over the things I couldn't (but wanted to) control. I read so many lots of postings and related them to myself and my life. The first thing that helped me was to realize that I wasn't alone. I started going to alanon meetings too, it was one of the toughest things I've ever done by myself but I'm really glad I did because I feel better, not well, or healed completely, but better.

Here is the thing that worked for me the first week I realized I needed help for me. Everytime I had a thought about my alcoholic that I couldn't get out of my head I remembered.

I didn't cause it
I can't cure it
and I can't control it.

check out meetings in your area and do something nice for yourself today. Welcome! And I'm so glad you are here.

Hugs,

marci
