Well, I wouldn't say I'm putting ALL of my hopes and dreams into my relationship with her...but love is a funny thing like that.
I have a six year old son, who is - and always will be - my first priority.
I also just found out on Wednesday that, if I can present my business plan successfully, I'll be getting a promotion and will be allowed to open up an office for my company in San Francisco, while also managing my current office here in San Rafael, essentially taking on an Area Manager's role. That's going to keep me very busy.
I only found out about Al-Anon last week, and have been to two meetings so far - two separate meetings, as they recommend trying different meetings to see where you're most comfortable.
I keep seeing things about sponsers in Al-Anon here on the forums, but I haven't heard anyone mention sponsers at all in the two meetings I've gone to, whereas when I've gone to AA meetings with my gf, they always ask "who's available to be a sponsor." So maybe I should be more proactive about inquiring.
