1 year update - Ayers!
Hello all. I just wanted to write and let everyone know how things are going and how I'm doing after being away for 1 year.
This month marks one year that I moved out. I look back and at times I thought I'd never make it through the day... each day seemed so long and dreary. I'm looking back today thinking - WOW- a year. How did time fly?
I'm myself again. The happy bubbly creative person that I used to be. I still feel the loss of a relationship that I was in for 15 years... but more of what it started off being. Definately not what it had become. I have these 3 precious boys, a great job and I am making lots of new friends. I've noticed my self confidence has finally started building back up.
It was a long road to get where I am today... as it was for many others on this board. I am thankful for each day. For every prayer ever said to get me out of that situtation. For the health of my kids... who could have been seriously hurt by my xah actions to keep me under his control. I found the strength to pull through and do what was right, even though scarey... we've made it.

Awwww...I remember you. We started Sober recovery at about the same time and were in the same state of mind and I too am doing so well. I cant even begin to tell you how wonderful and blessed my life has been over the past year. I'm so happy for you and happy to see your life has been so blessed. I remember thinking that I'd never make it to this point and I am absolutely loving my life now.

If...
you have been here a year.....that means I've been here that long too. You were just packing up to leave, right after I joined. Inspiring to know that things are going well for you.....and a kick in the pants for those of us that just keep hanging in there, waiting for it to get "better"(me).
Good to hear from you!

I've been absent from the board for quite some time - but reading this when upon my return really made my day!
I know you had a rough time - as you said, like many of us do, but I'm so very happy that you are now living your life and enjoying it! I'm glad to hear that you and the kids are doing well!
Wonderful news!
