About Me
I'm a recovering alcoholic. My sobriety date is October 4, 2000. I'm learning to become more independent. I'm currently stuck in an unhappy marriage. I'm growing healthy in my recovery and learning to live life on life's terms, while my husband blames the world for his problems. I'm tired of being verbally abused and having my recovery joked about. My husband shows me no respect. I'm slowly learning what is normal and not normal behavior. I'm trying to figure out who I am and where I am going in life. I want to be happy, joyous, and free. Today I have lots of friends and support, with people who love me for who I am. I'm mostly quiet and reserved, but learning to stand up for myself. Tired of being a door mat and a people-pleaser. I love to meet new people and make new and lasting friendships. I'm also very spiritual. My relationship with God is stronger than ever.

Interests
I watch too much tv. I love to read, but can't do too much. It makes me sleepy. I'm a bit hyper at times to sit still. I walk my little dog. I call my friends and hang out with them. I attend church and AA meetings. I like my computer. E-mail friends and buddies. I like to keep in shape.

I'm a 43, and a recovering alcoholic.(10/04/00). My husband left for Pennsylvania in Feb. 2008 for a job. This is not the first time he leaves for PA. He has anger issues, resentments against my family and nearly everyone else in our town. He has not held a steady job for years. He's verbally abusive toward me. Controlling, manipulating. Things got out of hand in Feb.He moved back to PA (his home state) to find work. He vowed never to return to LA. I have outgrown him, and I want a divorce.
