I am struggling with changing myself for the better, I feel my partner is holding me back

Gerri, when I finally decided to make real changes I used the AA program, the 12 steps, sponsors and the sober community to help me. By utilizing the tools and resources I was able to transcend. There are people we love that may not understand our journey but we love them just the same. I was taught unconditional patience, compassion, love and understanding. I am grateful for the love and support of others.
You can transcend anything you choose.
Iām here if you want to talk or have any questions

I understand what you are feeling - I feel the same with my partner.
I'm trying to remember that I can only control my own happiness. We may have outgrown our relationships.
I feel that it is so important to communicate and set healthy boundaries. Of course I don't know you're situation or you at that but to be able to sit down and have a healthy conversation about how you are feeling and what you're needs are hopefully your partner will realize what is needed and hopefully support you. Having a support system is very important in being sober and if it's what you want you can't let anyone hold you back. Meetings are a good place to start.
