I thought I had detached pretty well but I need to take a good long look at myself. I have been working on my personal growth, but I still become obsessed with my BF's behavior. It's like a subconscious thing. Changing my behavior is obviously a struggle too.

I need support anywhere I can get it right now. Ugh.

Good luck tonight, let us know how it goes!

Hope you feel better after your meeting, RB. It seems that, for me, a lot of times I hear something that is very pertinent to where I happen to be right then right when I really need it. I hope the same happens for you.

I have no excuse not to go. The meeting is in my neighborhood. I know I'll feel better if I do. At least I hope so.

That's great the meeting is so close to home for you. Change is never easy but the fact you are doing it is awesome. Give yourself a pat on the back. Let us know how it went

I was a bit anxious before I went. Now that I've gone, I'm hitting as many as I can. Different meetings are different but they all offer what honeypig mentioned as something pertinent to what I needed or wanted to hear at that moment.
It's very liberating.

The meeting was great. I really enjoyed hearing people's perspectives and how they deal with things. I think it's going to be a regular Sunday night thing for me. Thanks for the encouragement.

That's great news RB!!! Glad you got that important face to face support we all need!

RB, I'm glad you found that meeting to be useful. It's really helpful to hear all the different takes on things, and usually a couple I'd never have thought of on my own. Plus there's something to be said for real folks, in the flesh, who you can go have a cup of coffee and a piece of pie with afterwards if you want to talk more. For me, that is one of the strong points of Alanon.

Again, I'm happy that you feel better and just may have found a new addition to your tool box for growing and healing.
