It wasn't like I thought it would be...

Hello all, I did it! I went to my first Al-anon meeting, and (much to my surprise) I actually felt comfortable there. For the first time in 9 years, I felt hope, even just a little, and I haven't felt that in along time. The hope is for me, that I can get out of this, over this, move on, and heal from this. I now have a list of meetings, and I plan on hitting my "other" meeting during the morning, and my "new" meetings at night. I remembered something someone told me last year, he said "if you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done". Tonight was the first baby step. I want peace. The something I've never had (while in this relationship). I don't feel so black inside tonight. Thank you all, your advise helped me to make the decision. I also got myself a new book from there, I guess it's their version of the Big Book, and I put it on my nightstand next to my Big Book. This may be the beginning of a whole new relationship...one with myself. Sleep well my new friends.
