During our months of separation, it was very easy to focus on working my program. However as ML and I are working towards a partnership, I am finding it more difficult to establish what really falls in the realm of “my” recovery. For example, I find myself anticipating his triggers – avoiding certain situations that [...]

Only Me, You and the Dance Floor
Posted in Addiction-Free Zone, Cool Stuff, Marriage on July 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I ran into this video today during my daily blog roll and it really brought a smile to my face (and a tear to my eyes) – I just had to share! Sometimes, I forget how wonderful love, weddings and all that gushy stuff can be. It’s not only about the big wedding day celebration, [...]
Life Below the Surface

There’s not much going on at the moment. Actually, more like a lot of “nothingness”. Or at least that’s how I feel. ML and I decided to continue with our plans to move back in together in August. The trip was clearly a rude awakening for the both of us. Though ML clearly crossed a boundary [...]
GOOP – Secrets for a Happy Marriage
Posted in Marriage, Pop Culture, Reading on July 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
One of my guilty pleasures is Gwenyth Paltrow’s weekly lifestyle newsletter, GOOP. Hey! A girl needs reading materials for the long work week, no? Plus, there’s always great recipes, reviews and how-to’s. It’s also given me great ideas in my quest for self -care. This week the newsletter was about relationships, but most importantly, about [...]
Shame on Me

As if things couldn’t get any more complicated, my parents have managed to screw me over once again. At some point, I need to start questioning whether I’m exclusively to blame for all the bad things that happen to me. Remember, how I paid for my parent’s emergency trip? Well, I did this by giving [...]
When it Rains, It Pours!

So much has happened since my last post. Earlier last week, things took an “interesting” turn with ML. I was on the verge of making a rash decision when all hell broke loose with my family. Right after the turn of events with ML, my stepfather was hospitalized. I missed work the following day to [...]
Dear God

I find myself broken into a million little pieces. I am emotionally depleted. I can’t do this anymore. I don’t want this anymore. I’ve been holding on to dear life and I know it’s time to let go. It’s time to accept the truth – the relationship is over. Deep down inside I know this. [...]
Detaching with Love
Posted in Codependency, Healing, Marriage on July 1, 2009 | 4 Comments »
It came as no surprise that the topic of our S-Anon meeting on Monday night was “Detaching with Love”. In order to illustrate this process, a woman shared the visual of a passed out alcoholic. Her sponsor had asked her what detachment with love would mean in this situation. The woman responded that detaching would [...]
