Thanks, all. After posting this and thinking about it some more, I decided best to be happy for him, stay out of his way (and his journey through recovery) and worry about myself! I still get hooked into over-analyzing HIS stuff. I need to work on that (in my program, yes I am working one!). So for today, I chose to be happy and enjoy his company and take our dogs for a long hike together. Giving him the freedom to make his own decisions and experience his own emotions allowed me to relax and actually enjoy his company without wanting to control the situation, interject MY opinions on HIS choices, and get snatchy when he said things I didn't agree with. I think I am getting the whole detachment thing - it worked well today!
Thanks again for everyone's input and thoughts! Love this forum!
Happy Saturday,
T
