If nothing changes, nothing changes - and in my experience it gets much worse. My picker is broken. Line up ten men and I'll pick out the sickest every time.
The way I stopped getting involved with the same kind of man was - stop getting involved with any man. Go to meetings, work the steps and start making changes in my life.
I attracted them like bees to honey. You want to be fixed - see Jody.
Today, thank heavens, I have realized that being alone sometimes is so much better than being lonely. And some of my most lonely times were when I was with someone.
"It takes a heckuva man to take the place of no man at all".
Would I like to be with someone - yes. Would he have to be someone very special - heck yes. Am I going to settle - no way!! Thanks to the 12 steps for making me into this kind of recovering woman.
Love in recovery,
Jody Hepler
