Hi....strange I found you

[jeninoz]

Hi Guys,

Really quickly, my name is Jenni and I'm an alcoholic. I have been in and around AA for about 12 years and up until February 2007 I was 8.5 years sober and then picked up a drink. I have been in and out of the revolving doors since but am 8 days sober toay:smile:. Rock bottom, well, I wrapped my car around a tree 2 weeks ago and YES, I drank AGAIN after that! Cunning, baffling and powerful.
I met my estranged husband in AA :42: and we were together nearly 9 years. He swapped the witch for the **tch and ended up and IV ice user. We separated in April of last year. I am in the process of filing for divorce. It's such a LONG story. I still love him very much, he if the father of our beautiful 8.5 year old boy/girl twins.
Well, I found you because I have been told be several old timers in AA to stay away from my ex as he is very SICK. He is currently 6 months clean/sober but has other addictions (sex being a BIG ONE) and that I am co-dependant on him. So, I am reading Co-dependant No More and was looking for a CODA forum and some how ended up here. Meant to be?:wink:
Well, anyway, HELLO and if anyone does know of a CODA forum, please let me know.
Jenni

Most alcoholics and addicts have some issues with being co-dependant. I hope you stick around and use all of our forums. I was sober a number of years and went back out for serveral. I made it back by the grace of God and will celibrate 5 years in Aug because I treated myself like a newbee and concentrated on the program. I'm problbly co-dependant,but I work the 12 steps in AA only for now and it seems to be working. I met my now husband in AA and I don't know what I'd do if one of us went back out. I guess that is the down side to any relationship in AA. Thanks for sharing your story and again I hope you stick around. Lots of support here.

Not so strange you found us I think. Carl Jung conceived the word "Synchoncity" to denote meaningful coincidence. The Dali Lama said "I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.” You are here for a reason--listen, learn, speak, teach. Welcome--Mycool

And that is the 3rd time today "Jung" has cropped up for me today. Hmmmmmmmm synchronicity at work here?

Hello There New Friends,

I am now 11 days sober. Went to a Steps meeting last night - it was Step 1. Very apt.

Just thought I'd drop by, and thanks, I'll have a look at that link.

Sometimes I get what I want right away. At other times, I wonder if
my desires will ever be fulfilled.

I will be fulfilled in the best way possible and as quickly as
possible. But some things take time. Sometimes, I have lessons to
learn first, lessons that prepare me so I can accept the good I
deserve. Things are being worked out in me and in others. Blocks in
me are being removed. A solid foundation is being laid.

Be patient, Relax and trust. Let go. Then, let go some more. Good
things are planned for me. I will receive them at the first available
moment. I will have all my heart longs for. Relax and trust as Rosie tells me.

Today, I will identify what I want and need; then, I'll be willing to
let go of it. I will devote my energy to living my life today, so I
may master my lessons as quickly as possible. I will trust that what I
want and need is coming to me. I will let go of my need to control the
details.
