Today is three weeks since he left. His choice - either alcohol or his family - of course he chose alcohol. Anyways, my plan for today is
Read a couple more chapters of Codependant No More - Fits me to a T
Color the grays out of my hair - to make me feel better
Talk with kids about their dinner with their dad last night - He said he deserves to drink after working so hard all day. Don't we all? and help them if they have questions and to remind them it's not their fault.
Then other stupid stuff to keep my mind busy so I don't fall back a few steps - like take down halloween decorations, wash the kitchen floor which hasn't been done since i don't know when since I was emotionally unable to wash the floor. sick huh?
I think keeping busy is important in my recovery so I know I CAN do things by myself and don't need a alcoholic around to not help anyways.
Oh yeah, to make my kids a dinner that THEY like!! Calzone and pizza.
I hope this is what you meant by your question. This all has to do with my recovery. If I didn't do these things I would be on the couch pretending to be watching TV and over thinking things.
