Love Like God Does

Something incredible happened the other day. It was the day I decided to go to the US and buy you Rogaine. Since I started AA last week, every day I've been mindful of admitting my powerlessness over my big 4 vices of food, booze, sex and work. I've also been mindful of my belief that God can restore me to sanity.

As I was about to order a sensible amount of food at the A&W drive thru-which as you know "sensible amount of food" and Jenny don't go together-I was overcome with joy. I seriously haven't felt joy without the aid of alcohol, food, orgasm or accomplishment in a very long time. It was incredible!

I also felt something else...love. It was love for you, but unlike any other time I felt it before because it was without desire. In that moment I felt love for you, but I didn't desire to be with you, or miss you, or hope that one day things would change and we could be together again. I simply felt a deep love and adoration for you as you are in this moment. I finally felt love for you without any attachment. This must be what it is like to love like God does.

I'm Angry

I have no malice. I have no ill will towards you. I am hurt and right now I am angry. I am angry that despite my years of trying to support you through your struggles with alcoholism, we're still in the same place repeating the same cycle over and over again. I take responsibility for enabling you. I take responsibility for my role in a co-dependent relationship. I don't blame you, but I am angry and I am damaged...badly. I wish you'd get your shit together and by that I mean get some self esteem and start practicing self care. If you started to do that, your life would drastically improve. We're not talking about me right now so don't start pointing the finger back at me and telling me that I need to do the same thing. You need to focus on you, not me. What I do should be of no consequence to you. I appreciate that you have cared for me when I've had struggles with my health, but you've cared for me in lieu of caring for yourself and that has to stop. I...

I'm Still Holding Back

I feel like I can't be completely honest about my feelings regarding our relationship. I can express my love because it's a nice feeling. I can express my lust for you obviously, because that's the one thing in our relationship that's been consistent. I literally always want to fuck you. However underneath the love and lust is a bubbling cauldron of complicated feelings that I'm afraid to express. I am heartbroken and disappointed with the way things are. I hate that you struggle with addiction. I hate the way it's robbed you of your life. I hate the way I've allowed myself to be derailed by being your enabler. I'm afraid to confront you about certain things. I'm afraid that I'll make you feel bad if I'm brutally honest. When you tell me you miss me it cuts like a knife and releases all the rage inside of me because I'm pissed that you can't be a functional adult and partner and just get your shit together. I know it's hard, but f...

Doubts

I'm filled with doubts today. I doubt my ability to stay strong and maintain my boundaries with respect to allowing you back into my life as a partner. I know logically as things stand you don't have the capacity to be an appropriate partner for me and quite frankly I don't want a domestic partner anymore. I feel more secure when the only person I have to rely on is myself. It's stressful to have to rely on someone else especially when they have repeatedly proven to be unreliable. I don't want to hold anyone else accountable for anything anymore. Those only person I want to hold accountable for anything is me. I am however lonely and really want a regular sexual partner. Gawd! I sound like such a dude. Because of my ravenous sexual appetite and your uncanny ability to satisfy it, I'm worried that my hormones will cloud my better judgment. I have to keep you at arms length though, for the sake of my sanity.
