new outlook!

I have just decided to have a new outlook on my life. I think I will post here and continue my Alanon and wait and see what happens in my life. I have a dream for myself and I guess it is the same as so many of us here have and that is to have our A's sober and hope they stay that way. I have only seen my A sober for a couple of weeks now but he is doing well. I have been working on my strengths. I don't know how I have survived my marriage as long as I have. I am stronger now than I was 2 months ago. I have Alanon and therapy to thank for that. I am hoping a lot of the mental games stop and the playing with my emotions can be done with. I am going to make the best of what I have for now and see where I go from there.
:praying

" I have a dream for myself and that is to have my A sober "

That sounds like your dream for him.

If you have a sponsor, work the steps and keep your new outlook...you will make progress.

You are right, I should be looking at my dreams for myself. I guess I still need you all to keep my focus on me!! I think as every single sober day as a dream come true and hope it lasts. I do need to get a sponsor. I haven't been going to alanon that long and haven't really thought that far ahead. Thanks!!!!

passing by,
Keep checking in, and we'll keep reminding you to keep the focus on you
Yes, it's nice that he's making the right choices right now, and i hope he continues. But as there aren't any guarantees, and as it'll make for a better, stronger, more joyful relationship if BOTH of you are healthy and strong, it's best to keep working on yourself :ghug3
Take care
