Hammer, I think you've been looking at yourself as the root cause of your problems till you've been blue in the face.

I think you've worked the steps with the thoroughness one can expect from someone with your background.

It seems kind of like... you've scraped and repainted and scraped and repainted that house for years -- and you're finally coming to the conclusion that it might just be time to tear it down?

YES we are part of the problem. But we're not the ENTIRE problem. If you "fix" yourself and the problem remains -- then the problem is not you.

My husband isn't my qualifier, thankfully. I don't do addiction, period. Btdt with the mom and don't have the desire to do it with anyone else. This is a much "easier" relationship to repair than one with an addict. Myself and my spouse are both thinking clearly!

Not want, but need. Big difference. If you don't have those things, you don't have anything.
FULLY Understand.


Been there, myself.

Happy List:
(where the map says I am heading)

To Love and Be Loved
Open and Truthful
Steady and Ordered
Gratitude

Beginning to understand (as both the T and my Steps Sponsor have pointed out) . . . . that may not include Awtf.

At least from MY side -- just totally devoted.

All reasonable assumptions.

Except the lawyer stuff.

Will not do that part online.

You really have to understand totally passive.



and you KEEP choosing her. Her issues are not your fault at all. You continuing the relationship is.
Patience. The Step Study goes a few more weeks.

Kind of where things are heading.

While we should fully work OUR side of the street, we can ONLY work Our Side of the Street.
