Hi – Now that I am back in my home, I want to thank you personally for everything you have done for me. The many questions you answered, and the advice you gave me over the past year has been invaluable. I am sure I tested your patience many times, but you were always there for me. You are the most caring person I have ever met-you carry all of the Sister’s welfare in your heart.
I look back and remember all the times you gave me a good kick in the ass, and times when you were totally frustrated with me- like, “Why doesn’t she get it.” Well, I finally did and I have never felt more peace and tranquility.
You helped me more than either Therapist. I think the fact I am a Psych Nurse was to my detriment, because I got hooked on change and tryiing to fix Steve, and he was continually lieing and manipulating me into thinking he was sincerely working on recovery. I was SO delusional! Intellectually, I always knew what I needed to do, but emotionally could not quite get there.
You never once let me get away with my false beliefs, and for all your help I am truly thankful.
You are one in a million and I love you. Hope we can have another retreat and I have the opportunity to meet you in person.
Love and hugs,
SharronAwwwwwwww.
Crying.
Thank you.
You also are one in a million Sharron, and your growth over the past year and a half has been so satisfying for me. That is why I run this site and that is what the Sisterhood is all about.
I love you. ~ JoAnn
Awwww….. That is so cool!!!
Sharron- we are all SO PROUD of you, it’s ridiculous!!! Congrats on choosing YOU!!!!!!
JoAnn, you are simply THE BEST!!! XO!!
no guff.
No one’s perfect. We all fuck up.
But there is definitely a space here for truth, respect and for disagreement. And JoAnn set the tone. Thank you.and if you start backsliding, Sharron, I’m going to have drive down there with my flat head shovel.
love you and sooooo proud for you.
D.So happy for you and proud of you Sharron! Also echoing the gratitude to Joann for creating this place. Much love.
I love you too JoAnn-You are the best!!
Diane-No backsliding for me- no need for the flat head shovel. Once I make up my mind, it is set in stone and with God’s love.- Love you too.Sharron,
Chills and tears. ’nuff said! You did it! Wow! That truly speaks to the power of SOS and the person that JoAnn is.Much love and happiness to you,
ZGSharron,
I think you’re one cool chick and so is JoAnn and SOS!So happy for you I can tell you already feel better!
Love, Nap
What a lovely post, Sharron. And I want to echo your thanks to JoAnn. I truly don’t know what I would have done these past months without this amazing site that JoAnn created, and without all of you. xoxo
Yes JoAnn was a visonary…no doubt? Sharron….we are all so damn proud, happy, relieved and everything positive!
Karen xxThis site proves the power in numbers. As long as I was isolated from other wives, floundering around all alone, it was easier to second-guess myself, be fleeced indefinitely, hope beyond hope. I’ve made progress, because hearing everyone else’s stories validates my own, because I can’t stay in denial about what he is when I see he is like the other SA’s, and because I feel accountable to you guys for my behavior and decisions. When I tell the truth–put it out there, then it’s THERE, for me and everyone else to see. And I must act on it. So, yes, thanks again, JoAnn.
Hi March, Annheim and Karen – I am so touched by your tragic stories, and unfortunately there are so many on here. It was so funny with me, I also felt accountable to all the sister’s, and especially JoAnn. I actually felt like if I did not listen to everyone I was a failure, and I was. Only when I actually processed everything that everyone had to say, and got out of denial, was I able to move on.As JoAnn will tell you, even when I listened and knew everything I was told was right, it was deny, deny, deny. After all, I must have the one SA who was going to recover. Ya, Right! I can’t emphasize enough how clever these guys are-they will do ANYTHING to get what they want.
