Anguished

I hope this doesn’t sound silly but, for the past 3 years I have religiously kept a journal about the feelings and dealings with JPB (my ABF) and a separate daily log of whether he drank or not. I noticed something today… I have not kept up on the drinking log that at one time was so important to me. Not one entry since January 6, 2006! Plus, my journaling has slowed down quite a bit. Could this be a sign of detachment??? If so, maybe I’m actually getting my life and my mind back!

Maybe you have gotten on with the business of living...
and have found that your life is important too....

Its good to know that you are realizing this. detachment is a very hard and hurful thing to go through. I liked your idea though of keeping a journal. Think I will start one.

Wow, a fantastic sign of detachment! The more you practice detachment from his disease, the healthier you will become.
