TOPIC: New Comers & Old timers - Are U Contently Single Or Married In Recovery?
Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to take a drink of alcohol
since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely grateful.
New Comers just like Old timers have
difficulties in relationships, marriages.
Im newly separated from a 25 yr marriage.
For most of those yrs i was totally miserable
and I covered my feelings like a cloak
many times just to get by just so
others wouldnt feel sorry for me.
For the past few days I have been
in thought of how happy I am today.
Maybe Ive always wanted to be alone
or my own boss. Independant would
be a good word.
Is marriage in recovery working
for you? Or is it the single like
that makes recovery better for you?
Ive been thinking of how nice it is to
come home and have my own space.
No one to answer to except my HP.
To come and go as I please. Responsible
for my own actions.
Would i return to the life i had being
married...a house, yard...kids....
NO WAY.
I take the memories i had from the
past and drawn on them if i have to...
Today I move forward one day at a time
never knowing what is in store for me...
Single life or married life in recovery?
What is ur choice?
Thanks for letting me share.
