I am powerless over Alcohol  and my life has become unmanageable.

 

 I've waited and waited ,I've blamed my AH for his drinking and the misery that it is causing my family, all of that is true. I can not control any of that. I've been sitting at this step for so freaking long with the ability to admit it, but not feeling any different because of it. The light bulb went on and I realized that the bitterness that I've allowed myself to live, eat, and sleep with is what's bringing me to a point where a smile is forced and only forced.  So, instead- I will go with this because I feel it ties together.

 

I am powerless over Alcohol and  bitterness, my life has become unmanageable.

Thank you James,

I visit there quite frequently. My name, however, is different and I can't seem to get them to be the same. It's the weirdest thing. Anyway, my name on the other board is hisimage.

Be Well,
