About Me
Hi, I am a greatful recovering Alcoholic, also recovering from other addictions and Co dependency. And am a member of A.A. and Alanon and a Prayer Group. I am reaching out to make the effort in sharing my expierience strength and hope as well as recieving it.I relize now is time to get honest with myself so I can grow and heal so changes within myself can take hold. I was a chronic relapser. Why?? I realize now that I have to take care of my underlying issues of my problems and recognize what makes me tick. Now I realize it's not just A.A. that I need. I was in deniel about this subject for along time. Because I thought A.A. is enough it's all I need, theres no more room in my life for more then that ( thats one big lie).I just need to balance things better in my life and learn how. Yes I need Al-anon to teach me how to live in the World with others and build the coping skills in relationships I did not develope as a child to be mature. I need your support and important imput as well. We all need eachother. I probably will look into counseling as well for women who have been abused. Only with God of my understanding can make all this and I know with his love and help along with my efffort and prayers and self love which I will learn as well. I will succeed. Because I believe! God 1st, Spirituality and self Love and Loving others as we would want to be loved.I also am married to a very supportive and loving husband.I still have alot of good work to do to achieve a balanced life with love and care of self.
Interests
I enjoy enlightening conversations that lift me up. I enjoy reading books on recovery, to highten my awareness of self and my place in this World. Watching Turner Classic Movies. And Comedy. I Enjoy working out at the Gym. Healthy habits make healthy people.
