Seeing a relapse coming............
 
Hi Everyone,:c031:

I'm seeing a relapse coming on in the S.O..............THE STRANGE, GRUMPY, DRY DRUNK, STOP GOING TO MEETINGS BEHAVIOR.


"Step One We admitted we were powerless over S.O that our lives had become unmanageable"

God,

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, (Him)
Courage to change the things I can (Me)
And the wisdom to know the difference.

And I have choices today to take care of ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the replies. I hope the red flags are a figment of my imagination but I don't think they are, that gut feeling you know.

I'm grateful I have a program today well actually two programs, A.A / Alanon and can come here and talk about it.

Ngaire-- sorry you had to bear witness to the nutty behavior last night. Just take really good care of yourself ok?

I'm sorry, ngaire. (hugs).

I find the best way to deal with nuttiness is give standard program replies and just talk program. That way it avoids getting into anything personal which won't be constructive and throws water on the crazy flames.

Thankfully we don't live together so while he was talking some illogical nonsense last night I simply said "You are still living an addict life." and then he got mad and hung up. So that ended that conversation and I didn't call back to continue the nuttiness. So when we spoke this morning it was about something entirely different.

Way to go, Ngaire!

I remember that feeling very very well - and I am so sorry that you are going through this.
You handled yourself well though.
Hang in there. What will be, will be. So take care of you!
