Win: I'm camping this week.
Win: emotional regulation/ emotional "sobriety" in the Al-Anon sense
Win: a fabulous lawn small Al-Anon meeting yesterday.
Win: hearing from my alcoholic husband via a soundly "in denial" of the chaos he's caused and the skills to go about my day "as if" it never happened. I'm dealing with it directly via
1. Self-care
2. Being in a physically safe, supportive place.
3. Acknowledging the abuse I've been through.
4. Prayer, meditation and trusting my healthy instincts.
5. Big win: ******positive forward momentum******
Maybe these are all basically the same thing. Breaking it down, acknowledging my brave heart, giving myself full kudos for little and big things create the foundation of really fabulous things happening.

Win- I have been establishing personal boundaries and saying "No" more often withouut feeling guilty. Win- I have been spending more time with family and enjoying things that bring me peace and joy in life. Win- I have been listening to podcasts and reading about codependency and learning as much as I can.
Stronger every day!

Win: I'm down 11 lbs of stress-eating induced weight! A bit more to go but I'm happy!
Win: I am starting to really feel my feelings and even though it's rough, I feel better letting them out.
Win: I'm seeing red flags in a person and trying to hold back getting involved until I fact find some more.

Win- got tired of waiting for divorce to be finished to start renovating house. So I have learned to sweat copper piping, installed 2 bathroom vanities, removed 3 walls, installed 3 beams one 16 ft long with the help of neighbors, removed 700 sqft of tile, leveled floor, installed crack membrane, and am currently tiling my living/dining area. I live in the country so no code requirements. Luckily for me I have neighbors with 2 giant football playing boys who love helping me
