I thought I was doing pretty good, I have been reading the suggested books, going to my counselor, going to meetings and coming here.

Today AH called our daughter who lives with me several times. Next thing I know I am calling him and asking him to come and watch the ballgame with me of course he didn't. Later I sent him several texts I haven't done that in weeks.

I just don't understand what got into me today, I could so bang my head on the wall. I know it isan't the end of the world and maybe is common in the beginning. I am just so upset at ME.

Being upset at me accomplishes nothing I know that I just needed to vent I suppose.

Thanks,

i think it is normal. it is easier and more comfortable to be with that person than not sometimes.

I'd say nothing, you are just not ready to close the door on him. Seems like he may have moved on, persuing him will only make you more miserable.

Try and get some rest.

Thanks, for the responses and the laughs

I was never good at those line dance type things we do at weddings and I always have this mental picture of going left when i should go right; forwards instead of backwards...whenever I would struggle in my recovery. One step forward, one back, then I trip over my own feet...But the important thing is to get back up and trudge along.

Hugs - hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Hoochie Coochie!?!.......mine probably looks more like the chicken dance with a little bit of ring around the rosie and the Macharena all rolled into one very clumsy maneuver. I'll never make Dancing with the Stars.......but hey......it's MY recovery.

lol

You guys crack me up sometimes.

gentle hugs

I would much rather have MY recovery than Dancing with the stars anyday...

Your doing fine Angie. Don't beat yourself up. This thread has been cute and we all goof up at times so hang in there and enjoy watching the game....

Hi, Angie,

That wasn't a movie it was a speaker presentation.
Basically the dude talked about whatever drug a person was addicted to was "da bomb" in their perception and how every EVERY thing was about that and all revolved around "da bomb".

He then did a sort of Maslow's pyramid of human health and behavior and then showed how "da bomb" eroded each of those things.

Good video..still don't know the name of it...
