"I came to realize that I was powerless
over alot of things." |
I
remember sitting there and having no idea what was
happening. I didn't understand what they meant by
"powerlessness" and I didn't understand how my
life was unmanageable. I could hear it in other people's
stories, but I thought I was there to support my husband
- he was the one with the problem, not me! The topic of
the meeting that night was "Anger" and I
remember being appalled and thinking to myself,
"this is the angriest bunch of people I ever met in
my life!" I didn't know then that "If you spot
it, you got it." I came to realize that I
was powerless over a lot of things...Finally after about
five meetings I was able to start listening. I had to
come to the point of despair in order to come out of
denial, but it was wonderful that my S-Anon
group was there to support me. |
