How do you know HP wasn't at work?
I'm really careful with my prayers. "Thy will be done,
not mine."
Some of the things that happened to me before recovery were hideous, absolute nightmares. I thought they were the worst things possible.
Now, in retrospect, they were blessings in disguise. HP was indeed at work.
As for meetings, when I sit there listening for differences (ie., they have a partner, and I don't), I get nothing out of the meetings.
You made the conscious choice to look at her myspace page, no?
It takes time, and a lot of work, to heal from the effects of someone else's alcoholism.
It also takes patience and persistence.
