Almost WAW ready to work

[kat727]

i am so proud of you taking this step. I wish that it would have been in the cards for us...perhaps in the future when his head has cleared.

You guys are a work in progress. As you conquer each hurdle, I imagine it will get easier and the rewards will be greater. hugs.

Thanks so much everyone. I don't know what I would have done without all of you.

We have our first dialogue session at home tonight. I'm looking forward to it. Oh, and we held hands at Retrouvaille a few times, we slept in the same bed, and he put his arm around me a few times.......AND I LIKED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

WDID-

I have to say again....wonderful for you. We all know that it took a HUGE amount of courage on your part to get on amongst all of us LBS's and tell your story and ask for us to listen to you.

Yeah for WDID!!

Best of luck with your dialogue session tonight. Hope it goes well.

Thanks so much, Sue. I did take a risk telling all of you my story and asking for support...the gall, huh? But, you all were wonderful and said things that really helped. I'm so glad I found this forum or I'm afraid I would have continued to make bad choices. I needed people encouraging me to do the right thing, and I didn't have that at home.

The dialogue session went really well. We layed next to each other with our legs touching and I snuggled in next to him. We smiled at each other a few times and our eyes engaged. OMG, that hasn't happened as long as I can remember. I'm so happy. I know we have so much work left, but I am so happy we are finally moving in the right direction. I used to worry about me putting forth work and then it would be for nothing. Funny thing is, even if he and I don't make it for some reason, I would still want to do what I'm doing now. I feel soooo good!!!

Tonight, dialogue session number 2. We got the babysitter lined up for this Saturday, too. POst session number one.

It is so nice to read your thread and hear such good news. I remember sitting in the conference room listening to the speakers tell their stories and staring at a quilt someone had made of the Retrouvaille logo, with that life preserver. And I kept imagining the life preserver being thrown to me and being pulled to shore with it. Doesn't it feel good to be taking those first wobbly babysteps on dry land?

I feel joy like a baby bird starting to fly for the very first time.

I just wanted to tell you how absolutely happy I am for you. I've been lurking on your thread and wanted to let you know how much I respect someone who can be so ensnared by the "fog" to have the sheer will power and strength of character to pull yourself out of it like you did. Your H is a very fortunate man.

God has blessed you both and I pray He continues to do so.

Congrats WDID. I am so happy that you are happy. It seems you have a great awareness and will to do what you think is best.

I used to worry about me putting forth work and then it would be for nothing. Funny thing is, even if he and I don't make it for some reason, I would still want to do what I'm doing now. I feel soooo good!!!

I like what you said as you are living the way an article I just read about "100 happy people" explained. It says basically: That overall happy people bring happiness TO what they do, instead of deriving happiness FROM what they achieve.

I look forward to more updates

Nocode, and this2shallpass, thanks much. I'm still not out of the woods yet, but the fog is lifting. I know what I want and I am working towards that and my feelings are following now. This is not an easy task. It's going to take time.
