I refuse to get back together with him, and said I would consider where we were at when he got 6 months, but obviously he is impatient.
Enough about him... hah.
I got a commitment finally at my alanon meeting... cant stop going now!! Still trying to find sponsor, but picked up a new sponsee in AA, helping me get out of my head. I moved to the new place, a fresh start with rent I can finally afford without him with a roommate that is normal and doesnt bully me like the last girl (also in recovery).
Just wanted to check in... instead of check out and sink back into old patterns.
I hope all the newbies here are finding their way peacefully : )
Wow! It sounds like you have really been working on you. That is where it all begins and we are forever learning. You are so right that with God the messes are turned into messages.
I like that saying and may use it myself when sharing with other friends and family members. I have trusted God thru all the issues in my life and He got me through it all. For me, I had to get to the point to give it all to Him and then it made it easier for me because being alone at a time like this is awful. I don't know what I would have done without Him!!
Keep up the good work of taking care of you and no matter how impatient he is allow God to let you know when and what to do. God bless you.
