LIFE & TIMES OF A SOBER GIRL


 sucker for love...or just sucker?
Back to Full Blog  

Well i have not posted for a while,so this is what has been happening in my life. I am back to work and things are kinda slow getting started.I really think i want to make a change this year with work. I have been thinking of studying for the real estate exam and getting my real estate license. it's just a thought right now...i just know something has to change. something.

I have had some health issues too. my stomach has been acting up.i'm not sure what is wrong but i have an appt on tues. to have a complete physical. i pray i don't find out anything i am not ready to deal with. but i am 41 and it is better to know where my health stands.i'm kinda scared.

I am staying sober and going to my meetings. last weekend i went to hollywood to a NA convention. it was fun except my stomach was acting up and i spent sat night in the hotel room.

Ray has been coming around again. hence the title of this blog post.I love him so much...but nothing has changed. he is not ready to stop using. he only has time for me at his convenience. i have been trying to talk to him about what he wants in his life,but he doesn't want to really get into it. i remember when i was using that was the last thing i wanted to talk about. I can't shake these feelings i have for him. i feel like we were meant to be together.i think he is gonna get better. i love him.i can't save him.we were supposed to go to dinner tonight and he didn't show up or call. i know i deserve better than that. i went to dinner by myself.

Sober Girl....It sounds like you sense good things (career change) coming your way...Real Estate is a wonderful field..Sounds like a good time for a physical...I will be thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers.I am glad you are staying on the road...As far as Ray goes you will do what you need to do...Just make your sobriety comes first....When I had 8 years sober I married a man that I hoped would "change" even though he did obtain varying amounts of sobriety the marriage did not work.....I wanted him to be sober but even the times he got 2 to 3 years sober at a time he did not have the spiritual awakening in his life...Ih hindsight I wish I had waited for him to get at least 2 years and then decided if I wanted to be married to him...The marriage is worth every minute because I have my children....Twenty years later (we divorced 9 years ago) he still has the same patterns he had then....Go figure...LOL...Colo

I sure hope your tests at the doctor turn out ok and that nothing is wrong. I'll say a prayer for you. Also I hope things turn out ok for you and Ray but if he's not willing to change and treat you right, he doesn't deserve you. You don't deserve to be treated the way he's been treating you. Hope things turn out well for you!

Hey Mama~ Haven't checked in on you in a while- Girl I know how you're feeling, but you're right, you can't save him- You can't help anyone who doesn't want to help themselves, and apparently Ray isn't ready to do that yet. Be there for him, but I suggest keeping him at arms length so he doesn't take you down with him- You're better than that BabyGirl and you know it.

When you start changing for the better, others have no choice but change with you, or eventually fall by the wayside. My boyfriend is in active addiction, I don't have long in recovery. As I speak, our relationship is playing itself out. I would hate to let him go, but I cannot risk losing everything I've worked so hard to accomplish.
Keep growing, changing, and most of all, stay with God! Prayers for your continued sobriety, healthy relationships, and joy!

hope everything goes well at your doctor appt. i'm sorry it cost you a night at the n.a. convention, they are wonderful people. i use to attend n.a. regularly as support for my step sister and from lessons learned from her i say the following- no matter how much we love them, no matter how much we care, they only come clean when they are deep down to the bone ready to be clean. until then they will treat you like crap, lie to and about you, steal from you, and in general make a fool out of you if you let them. my step sister has hit what we thought was rock bottom so many times but she keeps finding new lows and i finally had to cut myself off from her because i have a son to worry about. you need to worry about doing what you need right now. you can't let someone who is using into your life to give you the constant temptation. my stepsister thought she could and now she is strung out, pregnant, homeless, and a total mess. i'm sure you are stronger than her, she was very weak, but why put yourself in temptations way? she was almost a year sober and down the toilet it went along with her life. this guy sounds a lot like her. you do deserve better than that. much much much better than that.

I pray for your peace and for God's constant presence. Thanks for admitting that you can change no one else. I can't even change myself, addictions and compulsions, without God's constant help and presence through his indwelling Spirit. Simply take your own inventory in front of others. If they are convicted by you sharing your story of healing, then it is the Spirit doing it and not you. It will only work if they are ready. The Spirit convicts of sin. We merely speak and stay in truth. Grace and Peace!

Hi Today Girl! Sometimes guys are just in our lives to teach us things about ourselves and show us that we want more for ourselves. Could anyone depend on you when you were drinking or using? No one could depend on me, so what makes me think I can depend on someone with our disease and using. Just stay sober and you'll know when you've learned everything Ray can teach you. And then you will be ready to move on. ONLY if you stay sober. But also remember that it can get pretty bad if you hold on for too long and come back and bite your ass for a long time to come. It did for me. Hang in there and take care of yourself. Love ya, Deby.
