WELLNOWHWAT,
It took going to meetings for three months to meet someone at my meeting, but this is what she gave me the first day!
As far as re-posting al-anon literature, I'm all for it. It brings the focus back to being in control of our own recovery rather than giving random suggestions to people we don't really know.
Thank you for that, I think what helps me are the three 'random' acts of kindness. I always feel better if I follow that. Yes, I must remember, I only have to do this now, it is not the rest of my life and I really only moved out of our shared apartment (that was across from a park... he not having good credit or a job to move out of the apt - grrrr!) only two months ago. I need to remember I am so EARLY in my recovery!
I feel better (what a world five hours of sleep will do!) I am stressed. I am lonely. I am tortured by the shame of what I went through with my husband. I am scared. But I can let go of it and just accept that this is where I am right now. It will change.
