This is a good thread... since that was one of my questions to my ex-ABF when I saw him last.... he went to meetings 5 to 7 nights a week and my question was is he going to be doing that the rest of his life.... Well, now the questions is .. Am Im going to be doing this recovery the rest of my life.
The way I see it now, and this is subject to change with my growth is. I dont ever want to forget what happened, during weak moments when I miss him or think... maybe there is hope, I come here and read. I have seen so many go through what I have, and the A is sober 3 years and then a relasp... BOOM it starts over again. This board keeps me focused on what is real, not what I wish could be.
Because I promised on the other post Im going to attend Al-non in a couple weeks. (adjust the schedule) Even though the A is not in my life, I will check it out and see if that is also a part of my recovery ... if not I will probably stay here anyway as I never want to make that mistake again.
