You will feel empowered, you will have control over your life again.
You will find that you will be happy to be home.
You might actually find that you will be able to develope a routine.
You might even meet a "NICE" guy that will treats you right.
Glad to hear your "moving" in the right direction... G/L

Well, first, I got a new BED! LOL I had cried too many tears in the other one.
I too get farther on less than when we were together, so I consider that more money.
The greatest gift, though, is the serenity I have in my life. Life is good. My hope is you will, before too long, post the same.

Things I am looking forward to:
having more money to pay off some debt with, maybe even buy myself a laptop
socializing with my friends
not having to worry if the drunk has killed himself or someone else
relaxed and peaceful mind...I realized how much more nervous and anxious I had become throughout the duration of the relationship
spending time with my family, well actually I live with my parents just until I get back on my feet :ghug2
saving more money
having more money
saving more money
not being broke 1 day after payday
did i mention having more money?
no more drunk alcoholic odor, snoring, drooling, slurring, unsteadiness
no more begging a drunk to get out of bed and go to work
no more long boring drunken you know, "lovemaking" i guess
no more drama
as with the eggshells I stomped on them all the time, if i wasn't happy he wasn't going to be happy
:bounce

Great thread.
I'll add
- the only person demanding my atenttion is my child
- don't have to listen to the 'list of complaints' i.e. how f'ed the world is
- peaceful house
- relaxed child
- can talk all I want on the phone
- can eat eggs on toast for dinner
- buy whatever I want
- not have to go places I don't want
- don't have to partake in activites I hate
- aren't told how to think and feel
- can change my mind about anything I want and no one tells me I can't!

Well this morning was the morning...
I woke up and immediately thought my entire life was going to change. It was both exciting and sad. Dramatic and anti climatic. There were some tears shed on his end, and a couple on mine. Really, I left the house feeling nothing. I am going away for the weekend, so I don't need to watch him leave...maybe that takes alot of the punch out of it.
I will continue to be reading and rereading our list we have made. It sure has helped!
