I felt so rejected. Now I am 54 and not a beauty but I was clean and neat and it wouldn't have hurt the man to sit beside me for 10 min. I only wanted a little human companionship. You and the fidonet echoes are good but lots of times I need people in person. Sat nite 3 of us made an Alanon meeting happen. It felt great to be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. One lady had driven 10-12 miles to the next closest meeting (ours) she couldn't find her old meeting. Can't you just feel the frustration of that. I could. Then I went to a AA dance and had fun. --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: Tarkin's Rift (1:106/6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 231 RECOVERY Ref: F4K00001 Date: 04/15/98 From: CHERLYN YOUENS Time: 10:30pm \/To: STATELINER (Read 0 times) Subj: miss you hello to you and your lady haven't seen your typeface recently please post soon.

An alcoholic boyfriend of 11 years i left and before I left I felt nothing but apathy. no hate and no love left. Glad he has 4-5years sober. and delighted to never see my first hubbby again. Delighted to see phil again in any cirumstances. although unlikely since he's dead.

She was deparate and I';m glad we were there to provide her with support. The next closest Alanon meeting was a good 20 miles further away. They would have been gone before she could get there. One of my pet peeves is meetings that don't exist. Her meeting has existed for years and I believe existed that Sat. night as well just not where she could find it. --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: Tarkin's Rift (1:106/6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 231 RECOVERY Ref: F5G00002 Date: 04/13/98 From: CHERLYN YOUENS Time: 09:20pm \/To: MARIE WEIDEMANN (Read 0 times) Subj: dancing Went dancing Sat. nite before Easter at an AA club The band leader is a longtime friend. He came out at break time and talked to me. Saw a co-dependent there with his ex-wife. Now I wouldn't give the time of day to my first husband; much less go to a dance with him; but the theory of being in that good a relationship with an ex sounds good. I wish the alcholic boyfriend of 11 years well. He now has a wife and 4+ years sober. felt good Sat. nite and it lasted 24 hours. --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: Tarkin's Rift (1:106/6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 231 RECOVERY Ref: F5G00003 Date: 04/13/98 From: CHERLYN YOUENS Time: 09:27pm \/To: BROWNBLADE (Read 0 times) Subj: introduction I came to Alanon in 8/73 and have attended meetings ever since. Daddy, my first husband, and a boyfriend of 11 years were all alcoho;lics. My second hubby Phil wasn't. He was an atheist and a non-alcoholic. Phil and I married 3/21/86 and he died 1/29/94. I married Phil and took on 4 teens ages 13-19. Luckily I had 12 years in Alanon at the time and did better than my parents. I attend one or more Alanon meetings every week. I dislike bars because I can't talk over the music. Also I prefer to avoid drunks. Sober drunks are fine by me. --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: Tarkin's Rift (1:106/6)
