You are doing so well! Thanks for posting at my sitch.
Yes, I am accepting responsiblity and am being accountable. I was selfish and self centered and forgot that I had any ability to control my life's path.
With dual diagnosis ...bipolar/alcoholic...and with just alcoholics...we do have choices.
We can treat our disease like a disease. A diabetic has to do certain things to control his/her disease and so do we.
We can sleep right, eat right, for me I need to take my meds, and we can't drink. We can pray and attain a new spirituality.
Hope that helps with your desires to know more about alcoholics...probably nothing you didn't already really know, though. After all, you are a wise woman.
Opt, Cath and AG, Thanks for stopping by. It's hard for me to remember to post on my OWN thread now an then because as my life becomes more normal I guess I sort of take the day to day 'stuff' for granted.
I have an obligation to keep posting occassionally because that's how we give back to the BB what we've been given by it.
All our sitches are different, and yet, they're all the same in many ways.
We will all survive ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
And the first step is to put OURSELVES first and foremost. T2

LOL, you are awesome!
I've seen in the last few months how you hardly post, we all know this is normal, when your sitch gets more normal you need to slowly spend more time on you and the R.
We are ever so thankful for you being truthful! You give us no BS! No matter if it hurts or not, you always give it to us straight! We admire that about you!
I can always count you you! When I can't see the trees for the forest, you point out how far I've come and that you see great things coming ahead for me!
Thanks to you, I've gotten stronger, more secure and know that in you I have found a true friend!
You have held my hand through the ups and the downs! I miss our third sister; KK! But, she is doing what she needs to do!
Quote: My H and I are going to share a bank acct for the first time in 20 yrs so that there is mutual accountability for our finances.
Been thinking about this since yesterday and isn't this a HUGE step for the two of you?!
This would be number #1 on my list of things for H and I to agree upon as this would mean H IS committed to this marriage and looks upon it as a marriage in every sense of the word.
YES, because his failure to transfer ALL his bills back to our address and any hesitancy to have his financial records available to me...were going to be a deal breaker. He had until spring to make these moves so he's coming in under the wire. His mail has JUST started coming to the house again this week...
He moved back in around the first week of October...so it took almost six months and two out right 'threats' that he'd better get his shi$ together if he really wanted to remain here. T2
Hey, don't think those babysteps aren't important! His mail is coming back to the house! I haven't seen my H's mail in months. Funny how you miss things you never thought you cared about in the first place.
He is really reattaching to you...I'm so happy for you!
