I am truly amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of views and posts I have received in the last couple of days. I appreciate everyone who reads these posts and especially those who take the time to comment.
I do try to think through the comments and take them to heart. I am going to try to get to some Al Anon meetings now that it looks like I won’t be dealing with job#2 anymore (long story). I am still going to try to get the third job that came up, so I guess that would become job #2, but the drive isn’t near as far.
In regards to the man, I am going to pull back a bit and keep it more of an acquaintance relationship. While it’s tempting, I don’t need extra drama at this point. My husband went to a meeting last night and told me that he told his friends that he needs real help and is ready to get to work. I hope he is serious this time, because I’ve heard that many times before.
So it’s Friday and I won’t be able to post again until Monday, so thank you again to all of the readers and commenters. I was really blown away!
I think that it is wise to focus on you, work a program of recovery, and realize that often attraction to others comes from recognition of something that is missing within ourselves. I looked all my life for validation from others. I found that I don’t have to do that and am valid enough now without looking elsewhere other than to God.
Just checking in with you to see how things are going. I hope you are okay and that life hasn’t been too stressful so far this week.
