Good news update (for a change)
Hi all,
Hope you’re doing well? Haven’t been on the forums for a little while so thought I would drop in just to say that my ABF has completed his 2nd stint in rehab and has now been home nearly a month, and he is doing great.
Long road ahead, I know, but all going really well so far and feeling positive so thought I’d share x

I’m doing ok I think. I felt like I was making some real strides in terms of self-care, confidence, tackling my codie issues but recently I feel like I’ve taken a bit of a step backwards.
I had a bunch of plans for things I wanted to achieve over the next month or so and it all got a bit scuppered and sidetracked by unavoidable life events, which left me feeling like I wanted to just run to my qualifier for comfort... but have resisted the urge to do so, so far.
We haven’t broken up or anything, we’ve just taken a bit of a step back from it all, we were in each other’s pockets pretty intensely before he left for rehab and it was too much for both of us. Now trying to learn to do my own thing and fit in a date or two with him when I can, rather than focussing my whole schedule around his movements.

A hard lesson I learned in recovery is "don't get attached to outcomes". I'm powerless over people, places and things. All I can do is work on my own recovery and keep turning things over to a higher power. "Let go or be dragged........" is a phrase I use to remind myself of my own purpose.
