We get an email from school about an outbreak of measles and EXAH quacks me... Have I had the kids immunised???? He's called the Dr, Dr said they were all up to date...
HE WAS STILL LIVING WITH US WHEN BOTH KIDS WERE IMMUNISED!!!!!
From another thread. I get it. Dealing with active alcoholism is counter-intuitive, confounding and requires developing new viewpoints. Once we start expecting things to be unremembered, life can be a bit easier to navigate. One day at a time.
The balance for this can be: expect good surprises each day. As I've started looking for them, and saying out loud to other people when I have (simply: I saw *this* today and that was amazing/fun/sweet), I have a skill in seeing more good and directions my focus. It also helps me in speaking out regularly in new healthy ways so when there is something wonky it's easier to voice that appropriately and move forward as needed.
Is your daughter feeling better?
How did meditation go? What other things happened that day (good, bad, not related to the alcoholic)?
