needuwell · 05-17-2006, 12:11 PM

Just wanted to update everyone on my situation. My A is still attending AA meetings (for a 4 or 5 weeks now)and me my Al-Anon. He has noticed a change, and that I am doing more things for me and my attention is not solely on him( I am loving this, even though he feels abit neglected, I am first)We have been doing alot of yard work and I said to him last weekend, Baby I am sorry that I have you out here doing this every weekend. he told me, well its better than drinking. Mind you I was floored! I know in my heart that we are on the right road, and that the AA meetings and Al-Anon has a great deal to do with it, Oh I will not forget to thank all of you for your shoulders and prayers. I am learning how to detach with love and accept him for what he is. I love this man, and will do what i can to make myself better. My adittude has changed a great deal, and for that I can say I found peace within.
Thanks for the prayers and support!!!

That is great, needuwell. Glad you decided to keep up your meetings and that you're now noticing them helping you. Considering your past relationship, this has got to be a nice change. I wish you both continued success with your programs.

Keep coming back!

I'm very happy for you as well. I agree that gardening beats a drunkfest any day of the week! I'm glad you're both working your programs and finding peace and acceptance within yourselves and with each other. I wish you many happy days to come
