found some peace lately in .....
I attended my first Divorcecare class this last Tuesday at a local church. It was really nice, the people were great, and even though I cried in front of everyone, I walked out of there knowing this class was going to help me immensely. I was told that these classes are all over the world. It is a 12 week bible based study that helps you get thru all the emotional, financial, and problems of going thru divorce. I recommend it to anyone leaving their A and facing divorce.
I am also attending my first Al-Anon meeting tonite.
It has been hard for me to adjust to my new circumstances after finally leaving my A and moving on. I still have bad days, but always pray the next day will be better (and it usually is).
I know that God has a new life ahead for me, and I know he will help me meet the challenges that lie ahead.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.. BARB

BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!!
[Barb---just read your post and was so happy to hear that someone has been having some good times. It really sounds as if you're working on your recovery, and although I am new to the forum and to Alanon---you've given me hope that things CAN change for a person. I wish you the best of everything---and hope that you continue to post on the boards. It does, indeed, bring hope to those of us who need the added support!!COLOR=darkred][FONT=century gothic][FONT=times new roman]

thanks!!!
thanks lacceejoe. i try to stay positive,even though its very hard at times. i knew i wanted and needed the life i want to have. Last time we split up, i just stayed home and cried all the time and hid out in my bedroom. This time, I refuse to do that to myself. I'm trying to get out there, be independent, and do things for myself. (For so many years, I was so hung up on his alcoholism, I totally forgot about doing good things for myself). I must say I miss the good times with him, since there were many, but I knew I could not live the life I was living any longer. I had to let go once and for all. You all take care. bab
