Not sure what to say, except that it would be hard to read this and not "get" that I've seen a difficult reflection of myself in your writing. I thought about attending my first Al-Anon meeting last week (my husband's first AA meeting was about 5 weeks ago), but still haven't admitted that I need help, too. Think it's probably time.

I've been criticized that I "focus [too much] on my feelings" as someone affected by another's drinking. But I've identified my emotions, felt them and I'm letting them go (slowly)because of gentle guidance and freedom of Alanon.<br />I must remember not to be afraid to live honestly.

I was taken aback, my eyebrows went up into my hairline, and I told her, "If you think I am controlling, you should meet my mother." I was dead serious. Denial. ::sigh::<br /><br />I'm better now. Yes, I have a wee little control issue. The Steps keep me right sized and on the right track. Great post...funny and true.<br /><br />namasteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128247878961221421noreply@blogger.com
