And I think EVERYONE associated with it should accept a well deserved hug and pat on the back... I find it quite amazing, to see the love and caring of so many people here - reaching out to those in need, even ignoring or looking past their anger and words - and recognizing it for what it is....
The reactions of so many here, have given me a renewed sense of what Al-Anon principles stand for.... Thanks to everyone for being....... yourselves!!
Take care

Thank you as well for sharing. If it wasn't for people like you guys to moderate what was going on there would be no order. WIthout order is would be horrible.

I agree!!! This board is the best! When I first came here, I had been somewhat active on other boards, but I feel like I am home here. There is no applauding the victim that I played for so long, there is love and support and acceptance. There are times when responses have made me step back and think (sometimes I need to do that).....I like that..To read another's posting and say....WOW I HAVE BEEN THERE, HOW DID I GET THROUGH IT, I NEED TO SHARE......I am learning through this board about a power greater then myself and my A. That I am right where I am supposed to be. There is a Miracle in Progress in my life!!!! I love that, it has been a long time since I felt comfortable where I am.....
Hugs Mary

Well said CanadianGuy!! I too have found great comfort and encouragement here. This has been the 'Al-Anon meeting' I have been craving for so long. Thank you all SO very much!

Hi Tom,
I totally agree with your views. I am joining up to become a lone member of Al Anon in Australia as there is no meeting group in my town other than ftf with the D/A counsellor once a month. This forum has become my lifeline. I have found inner strength again and acceptance of the circumstances I am in. This transformation is wholly due to the love and openness of the members here. Everyday I get stronger and if I could I would give each and everyone of you a hug. Beauty does come from within. Luv Leo x

Again, danke to all, esp. Oz
