Good morning to all, and I hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been trying hard to practice compassionate detachment since my little episode with hubby last week. Last night he told me he’s never felt this way before, never had this experience, and doesn’t know what to . ( as he takes another toke! ) I waffled between incredulity and deep sadness that he cant see he’s suffering from addiction. But I just listened. So yippee for me. these past months of watching him slowly slide deeper and deeper have been so hard. I have to keep reminding myself of my own journey, and keep focusing on myself. I have to believe he will one day figure it out. Maybe one day he’ll try not drinking for a while to see if it helps.
“A more compassionate way to respond to those I love might be to allow them to face the consequences of their actions, even when it will cause them pain.” (Excerpt From Courage to Change Al-Anon Family Groups)
Anyway… this is my little bit for today. Love to all ![]()
