Confused; time to let go?
 
tonight, I told my friend that I had to let him go. I told him it was awkward for me to be in contact with him now that he is seeing someone. I really didn't go into too many details. He told me that it was going to be rough for him but he understood why I have to do that. I am going to miss him so much.

I don't really want to let my friend go. I care about him so much and a part of me still wants to hang on.

Hang in there you two! You are making such a healthy decision for yourselves, and I am so proud of you for doing that. I know it isn't easy! You are taking care of yourself and putting your sobriety first, and that is awesome. Things can hopefully only get easier from here.

Blessings,
Renee

Hey Hope, i too recently had to let someone go, and put them in God's hands. Putting our recovery first is the most important. Setting boundaries has become part of my program and it's working for me!!! God has a plan. You're doing so well Hope, keep up the good fight my friend!!!

that's growth Hopealwayz
mmmm....have you notice ???
There's sum'in about LETTING GO.
It's like a re occuring theme in my walk of life.

One part of me say...hell no, don't do it,
what will you do without it, or her???
You can't go on without it or her,
That's going to change things and that can be fustrating as hell.lol
Like there's a kid inside of me crying

Then there's the other part me that say...You'll be okay.
You deserve to be treated better.
I know it hurts.
I don't need her..that freaken B@#$^%!
Man...this feels wierd, but I still love you ( myself).

And this always happens after a Let go.
SOMETHING AMAZING HAPPENS or shows up
I'm not sure, if it's has always been there and I became aware
but something happens.
Sometimes when I'm crying.
Sometimes after I cried.
Sometimes after I've gone out of my freaken mind.

Hey all! I've been in both of your situations. I've learned that god has a plan for me and that I kept putting the not-so-stable ones between the woman that god has in plans for me. Once I took time to focus on myself like co-dependency issues, things in relationships just started to fall in place. My life has never been better in r'ships. When God saw fit I work on this issue, my life took off.
