I'm just beginning to experience the peace, as XAH only moved out the day after Thanksgiving. To be honest, the peace is intermingled w/fear, loneliness and anger at times, too. The first couple of posts in this thread
http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...iar-patch.html explain about that.
For me, the biggest thing is realizing how much of what I feared losing never really existed in the first place. And if it's not there to lose, what am I scared of?
I'm learning to trust that things will work out if I do the footwork and then let go of the outcome. (Key word: "learning". VERY key word!!) And that puts a kind of peace I've never known into my life.
