Hello AnonK.,
I thought I
was supporting you by sharing my experience.
I also thought I was sharing
hope, by hoping you find a better way out of lost alone and rejected.
I shared
my experience of finding my way out of being alone, rejected and lost.
I guess what I thought was expressing my experience, strength and hope is not?
AnonK., I was expressing my experience with hanging on to a man who was unavailable, how
hard it was to let go, but let go I did.
I stopped thinking of myself as
so special no one could help me.
I go to places and meet people who have an understanding of me as an alcoholic.
Heck, we even laugh at our stupid selves sometimes.
If anything I have said has been less than helpful, I am very sorry.
If I have not said it, then I want to say it now. I have been where you are and the pain is bad. It was so painful my chest ached from the loss.
I am
sorry you are not getting what you want from someone right now.
I hope you find a way to peace and serenity.
My way out of depression and alcohol is AA meetings, meds for my depressive disorder and Al Anon meetings.
Your way may be way different cause you are way different than me.
That doesn't mean I do not understand or want to help.
I hope you continue to post and work it out.
This is a great place for healing, and surprisingly, there are people here who have been where you are now, and care how you heal.
Everyone has their own style. Obviously, mine is wordy.
Sometimes, I can be a know-it-all, but I work hard on that,
and try to avoid posting when I feel all powerful or all angry.
Yesterday, I had a minor meltdown and I am sorry it happened.
I do not know what is best for anyone.
Only me, and sometimes, not even that.
This thread, in this forum is about AnonK.
How is it going today AnonK.?
Do you care to share anymore about your relationship,
or what you are doing to take care of you?
I went for a walk with my little dog, she gets lots of positive attention.
I smile a lot.
What makes you smile?

for being here, I am getting some experience, strength and hope from your thread.
