Took action yesterday
I am feeling so empowered after reading the Codependent No More book. There was a part in there that says rarely do codependents "act"---mostly just react.
I wanted to share, I acted yesterday. I took control of my life. I did what make me comfortable. I decided that I didn't want this to continue and if AH didn't like it, whatever.
It feels good. It feels great. I had a goal of dealing with this by Friday, but instead I handled it yesterday.
It is a good feeling. Lots of work to still go...but I did finally DO something and not just complain/worry/agonize. I did something and stopped something I didn't like that I wasn't comfortable with!
Thanks everyone for their support.

Way to go, whyamistaying!
It's small, first steps forward that eventually get us where we want to go. Reward yourself for taking action. I'm a big believer in "training" myself with treats every time I do the right thing
