I had a really hard night tonight. I decided that I needed to sip on some wine tonight to just de-stress. Well, after 2 glasses (I rarely drink) I really really wanted to call the ex and talk to him, see how he is doing, ask if he is ever going to pay me my child support, if he is ever going to see his daughter again. I restrained! Lord was with me because it is all I wanted to do and I had convinced myself why this would be beneficial and told myself that it would be better to get this conversation over with and just KNOW. But -I did not. Instead, I turned on my IPOD and danced around the house and dusted, vacumed, swept, mopped....I got through it! I felt like I had to post this. I got through it...through the temptation to re-connect with the addict, through the self doubt, through the neediness....It was NOT easy -but I did it and am proud of myself. One day at a time isn't always the case -sometimes it literally is one second, one minute, one hour at a time....
