OK, today I am divorced.

I did make a mistake, dated before the divorce was final. Did meet another Al-anon and found out the hard way it's not good to date another al-anon that is not going to counseling or al-anon.

Anyway we broke up last Friday. She wrote today and wanted to date again. I told her if she went to counseling or Al-anon I would reconsider this. She said no so I will not date her again.

Looks like it doesn't get any easier, I will just have to take it one day at a time.

Also I am going up to Portland, OR for the Holidays (More alkys to deal with).

I guess this is a step in the right direction, I realized the toxic relationship and bolted.

It WILL get better, cowboy, as you continue to take steps in the right direction.

Staying away from toxic relationships is a huge part of that.

Life's a series of learnings and fine adjustments so that we do things better and better. I think you're doing fine. Have a great holiday!!
