Hess

It's been a couple of days since I started stepping out of the situation with my mother and brother. I am finally starting to feel a little better about it. I was initially feeling really terrible. Losing sleep, obsessing, I was unable to concentrate at work and school.
I had gotten some decent sleep two nights ago. But I am not sure that it was healthy sleep. I kind of just passed out and not sure if it was because I was exhausted or because I had a drink with my dinner. I know I didn't wake up feeling rested. But then last night I slept like a baby, and I also got to sleep in because of a snow related delayed opening at work. So I feel like a new man today...
I'll be attending my first nar-anon meeting tomorrow night. I never thought I'd be attending one. Never thought I'd feel like I needed to. I guess I've done pretty well at keeping my distance from all of this up until this point. Coffedrinker said it perfectly in my other thread, stepping in was like stepping into quicksand, and I quickly got sucked in. So, now I guess I am actually looking forward to going to this meeting, in a weird sort of way.

Good luck at that meeting, Hess.

Meetings literally saved my life. Give them a chance, try several, and know you are giving yourself a wonderful gift.

This is progress. Wonderful Hess. And that meeting will be great for you.
If not, try another one.

I am attending my first meeting tonight as well, good luck to you, I'm hoping to find some sort of peace as I can't help but feel things are not going to go as I originally planned with my boyfriend, I am feeling very used and so unbearingly devalued. I thought him going to rehab would make me feel opposite!
