It is great to hear that you have succeeded in achieving detachment, although it
is a little alarming to hear it took you 24 years to achieve it! I hear what you
are saying and agree that is what I need to do, but I am struggling. Did you
just continually say I am not in control of you and eventually it sink in or did
you have some sort of an ephiny? I so desperatly want peace of mind and
contentment. I pray that I will some day realise that.

Thanks for listening.
Yvonne

I came to the realization that I'm in control of my own destination, and
my alcoholic is in control of his own.
I support him by not enabling him, and I make him responsible for his own
actions. If I allow anybody else to control my emotions, and thoughts, then
I've lost my sense of direction. I didn't get to this point overnight, it's
taken me 24 years, and I'm still not done working on me. Learning to "Let
Go and Let God" helps me quite a bit.
