pathetic
Thank you all for pointing out that should consider counseling. I have considered it but what I really need to do is learn to work the Al Anon better. I know I've fallen back into some of my old habits - which hasn't been a healthy place to be. I thought I was doing alright until T relapsed. And since he did, I did too, to a degree. A counselor will only point out to me what I already know. I just need to read more Al Anon literature and "work" the program. ^^ One of the reasons I do focus on T-Man in this journal is so that I have the information about him if I need it. It was suggested to me a long time ago before his court hearings by a woman down at the court house but I guess it really isn't necessary anymore. Focusing now on me.....ouch! I've been playing soccer pretty consistently for years - in and outdoor on a 30 and over co-ed team (the women only have to be 25), I can play the entire game (without subs) and for indoor - some games I play back to back. In addition, I revved up my exercise regimen by running every day on the treadmill, AND now the last few weeks I'm back playing outdoor (about an hour and half game). I never get tired and never had any "real" injuries. Well....lo and behold.....my girlfriend and I decided to go for walk today. A simple walk.......not a run.....but a walk. 5 minutes into the walk my lower leg started hurting and tightening up. I thought I could walk through it. I didn't complain much because I thought how ridiculous it was. Then tonight..... stubborn as I can be when it comes to soccer, I decided I could play through it. I did manage, in pain,.....in addition I scored two goals!! WELL.....now I can barely walk it hurts so much! Darn it! I want to play the Sunday outdoor game so badly. I HATE missing..

Even the Lone Ranger had a partner; going it alone is certainly an option. However, there is something to be said for having a \"back-up\" someone cheering for you when all the other supports have collapsed or pointing out the \"obvious\" when you don\'t have the strength to deal with it.....I hope you will reconsider your position.
I think its great you play soccer, thats a good stress reliever. Mine was not participating in a sport. but watching my my son and then my grandson play hockey. Sometimes I was sitting there and felt like I had the puck myself. I probably looked a little weird, who cares. Wishing you and T good thoughts and peace.
