I think his is sound advice for anyone who is looking for help.

Agreed. What Amy said really made me think about what I'm getting out of therapy and how I'm using it. My therapist actually is awesome and she challenges me weekly. Without her, I'd be even further in my rut. No really, I would be, LOL.
Amy said something that really stuck out: Am I using Al Anon and therapy to learn how to live with something I could not deal with? Maybe that's the key right there? I find that the advice I get from my sponsor is that it's OK to stay put and that I can just sit on the outside and watch my AH fall down again and again and that I can just live in the same house with him until I feel God telling me it's time to go. Well, I've been praying and journaling and talking to God, maybe I'm just not listening.
Something to truly think about. Thanks Amy and Dandylion!
