I wish you and your husband a speedy recovery from his surgery.
I rolled my eyes in disgust.
Eye rolling is so much better than words rolling! Good for you for holding it together. It’s so difficult watching that enabler/addict relationship but it appears you are handing it better!
Five Years Here, So Sad to till Be Here
You know for the first couple of years I was here, I was a frantic lifeboat rushing around trying to save everyone and losing myself in that process.
Remaining here at SR I have learned to be a lighthouse rather than a lifeboat. I do not rescue, but instead help others to find their way to shore.
A long time ago in al-anon I heard the expression……..meeting makers make it and I know for me if I do not continue to regularly attend al-anon and or come here to read/share I will slowly fall back into driving that dam lifeboat.
