TOPIC: I Couldn't Wait Any Longer
 

Hi Im Sharon and Im
the Alcoholic.

By the grace of my HP
and family who stepped
in with an intervention
20 yrs. ago, I havent
found it necessary to
pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.

I have alot to be grateful
for today because they
stepped in at that time
in my life getting me help
I so desperately needed
to stay alive.

Over the years I have had
a recovery program and Faith
to guide me each day learning
to live happy joyous and
free without alcohol.

In the course of my recovery
journey I increasingly changed
for the better leaving my
family behind scratching
their head as to what happened
to me.

My husband at the time in
early recovery did attend
al-anon for maybe 2 meetings
learning one one...dettachment.

He figured that was all he
needed to have that would
constitute working a program.

Down the road we split apart
as I left him standing in the
dust.

I tried to wait for him
to catch up with me so
we could understand
each other, but it never
happened ending a 25 yr
marriage.

I had and wanted to take
care of me and wanted and
needed a partner beside me.

I know my part I played in
the marriage and fully understand
my addiction and affects it
had on the family.

:tappingHowever, with programs
offered to the partners of
the alcoholics is available
for the taking in order to
make a marriage stay alive
and well.

All I can say is...you snooze
u loose.

Ive moved on in my life
as I live and breath my
recovery program a day
at a time.

If you want to stay up
with me, then there is a
program available to u too.:c029:

Thank you for that, Sharon!

Hugs to you.
