So glad you are making time for yourself! I'm not a big crier, I never cry at Al-Anon meetings, but I do always leave feeling more peaceful, and much better. I'm sure you will too.

Afterwards, perhaps you could give yourself an hour to do something you enjoy, before heading back home. I didn't feel like talking a whole lot after meetings, but going for a walk, getting a hot chocolate, going window shopping, those were things that revived me in a way too. I was so used to scheduling my day in 15 minute increments in order to manage work, household stuff, 3 kids, etc., that an hour to do whatever the heck I wanted to do felt incredibly luxurious and restorative. It kind of let me marinate in that peaceful feeling too.

Hugs,
B
