Hello, and thank you for reading my first blog. I started thinking about writing a blog a few months ago, but I honestly didn't know why anyone would want to hear stories about me and my exsperiences. I did my research about successful blogs and they suggested I pick a topic to blog about. A topic?!?! My life isn't that exciting, no one want's to hear about my work or the weather, and I certainly don't have time to cook and blog about cooking.
Then one night at one of my regular Al-Anon meetings someone said "hearing is healing" and she went on to mention how hearing all of our stories helped her heal. So... then a little light went off in my head. A blog about how alcoholism effects me. Not only is it healing for me to write, but I might help someone else. So... Here goes nothing! I hope you enjoy!
Ok, So... the name. HOOKLINE&SINKER. I am currently on an "on again - off again" relationship with "Simon". I constantly feel as if I am at his beck and call and don't have much choice in how the relationship is going. I'm head over heals for this boy, and I would do anything if it would make him happy. Simon lives for fishing! He's a genius at it! Anyway's... the name is a little play on works with where I stand with this man. Hook, Line, & Sinker... and he's got strong hook on me. I attend Al-Anon meetings regularly. I started going after Simon had been to drunk to come to my families Thanksgiving. I was fed up and was out to find the answers to "fix" him. Instead... I found that my Al-Anon family fixed me and not only how I viewed Simon and his alcoholism, but how I viewed the world and myself. I hope you guy's enjoy and can relate.
