This is a good thread for me! A good thread for everyone. I also am grateful to my recovery for many things. The main one I already wrote about:
- I was able to tell someone they'd hurt my feelings, rather than suck it up and assume I was imagining things (REALLY proud of this one!)
- I was able to resist the advances of someone (as lonely as I am) who, while not having addiction problems, is hundreds of thousand in debt yet refuses to get a full-time job
- I am going regularly to al-anon meetings and even have a sponsor!
And the big, big one
- I left my husband a total of four months ago and I almost went back to him, but I successfully escaped and got my own apartment last month!!!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to share. Have blessed Independence Day everyone!
