For me, Al-Anon is about change...facing where I am and imagining where I want to be and working towards that dream - changing "ME" to work and "fit" better within this life I've chosen. "Change" meaning transforming myself from confused, rambling, sad, etc. to feeling gratitude, appreciation, good, even gooder to great...or, of course the other way around if I want to...misery is easy and free...but, not my choice anymore...lol
Enjoy these quotes...I hope they hit home for you.
"The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones."
-- William Faulkner
Longing for a miracle that will transform your life? Miracles happen, and if we don’t want that magic to disappear on us, we need to learn from each epiphany -- to integrate it, apply it, and build on it so we can permanently shift to a new level of being.
The real key to fulfillment lies in ONGOING transformation: building our awareness of daily opportunities to change our perceptions and raise our consciousness. Life is about dissolving the old and creating anew. The more we open to accepting and learning from every life experience, the more our lives transform.

Lani,
I to really needed to hear this. I've been having my own little pity party for two days now. I know full well, I am in control of my day, but something kept pulling me down. It's like I need someone to hit over the head with to get it I guess. So thanks, now I can pull myself together and have a great weekend at the beach with two best friends!
