I went to an AlAnon meeting again tonight. I haven't been for a few months, since the summer, i think. I stopped going just before he stopped going to AA. It was good to go again and I think I will go back next week. Tonight's discussion centred around control, and i was able to articulate how it was a control issue that got me to go up and get him rather than leave him to figure it out or to have one of the girls go get him and see him like that. It really was disrespectful to him to assume that he couldn't have figured a way out of where he was.
I also have gratitude, the other discussion from tonight, around the opportunity I was given to remind myself of how much work i have to do around control, and that I can let go, spend my energy on myself, and what needs to happen will do so. I am still really sad that he missed one year sober, tho. I'm trying hard to celebrate 35 days.
