The first day...

...of the rest of a much improved life. Keep an open mind, and try a few meetings before making a final decision about whether or not to continue.

Your landlady sounds wise and fantastic to me. Much love to her.

She then told me that she had a similar story and that she had been attending AlAnon at the church next to my house for the last 7 years. She invited me to attend and I, of course said, " I don't think that's necessary.... I only knew him for 7 months...." She then asked me why my eyes were red, I told her I had been crying. She said.." do you cry like that for ALL your friends honey....? I think you would benefit from the shared experience on Monday, I will see you at 8....."

What am I likely to experience there?
