i feel great!
at first time away from my ah i was in a rollercoaster of emotions and i felt like i needed to be there to see and know what he was really doing and to "feel better" i also felt like if he really missed me he would beg for me to come home BUT i turned my frown upside down, got on the party boat (metaphorically) and now im at a point where i dont care (not saying i dont care that he is working his recovery BUT that his recovery or if not recovery, does not feel like its "my problem") i have to say this time away, getting together with family/friends and taking care of me has reminded me what an amazing person I AM. yes, i am amazing flawed and all lol
I have been taking dance classes and working out 2 to 3 times a day. I have never felt better. It just reminds me that im not just an alcoholics wife or a co dependant or whatever else label i could give myself but that i am a marvelous hotty lol and moping to the beats that comes with the territory, end story.
i FEEL like a new me, the old me before everything. Hoping to keep this feeling alive and just keep up the progress.

Thislonelygirl - good for you!! It's vital to do something for yourself and I'm finding exercise very empowering both physically and mentally. I've been doing the "Insanity" program - its really hard but it keeps me focused and releases stress - I feel great.
Keep it up and I'm so happy for you!!!
