I 'm sitting with what is most likely a common problem. I've ended a long term relationship, come into SLAA and find myself thinking more than a little about someone in the rooms. I reluctantly admit it that I have formed an attachment. I try most things and it is smaller than it was, gone from complete obsession to pained and angry longing and rejection. There is nothing going on between us, he has been big time bottom lined but bar changing every single meeting there's little I can do but see him some places. I'm hoping the anger that I felt for the first time today is going to take me out of this attachment. On sunday at church I asked for special prayer for this as I did tonight again. Perhaps it was good for me to see him being flirtaeous with another woman tonight. I do just need to get him out of my mind space so I am able to do my recovery. I keep reminding myself that if God truly wants us together then at the right time there will be no power that can keep us apart but for the meantime I just need to do my recovery.
This too shall pass, even
This too shall pass, even though it may feel as though it won't. As long as you're not acting out, ie it is your behaviour that defines your sobriety, you're still sober. As soon as he comes into your head, pray for him and hand him over to his Higher Power. You may find yourself doing this a lot! But it works. Work the steps thoroughly, in order and with a sponsor and you will get better. Good luck
