[QUOTE=. It wasn't until I learned to "stay on my side of the street" and focus on MY recovery...ie not HIS recovery.....that I started to feel better. I didn't ask questions, didn't ask about AA/counseling, etc. It wasn't easy at first, but it was the right thing to do.[/QUOTE]

Thank you for that. That is part of what I'm so afraid of. I am afraid I am so new to my program that I won't do the correct thing such as put up the boundaries I need for myself. There are just so many things I don't know about all if this yet. And I am so unhealthy, that I will worry about 13 stepping, etc while he is recovering. I just need to follow y'all's advice and work extra hard. It has been easy to distance myself and put up boundaries while he is only on the phone. But in person, I am not sure ill be able to. I am thankful for this forum to help inspire.
