Last night I went to a meeting....it isn't my homegroup, but it is a good group of people w/a very serious meeting.
I was the last to read/speak. It was so enlightening to sit and listen to people. When it came time for my turn, I asked if it was okay if I skipped a reading and commented on the readings before me.
Some of the people there have followed the saga of what is going on my life. I explained the situation now and my decision to have him move out. How good I feel about the decision but how uncomfortable and difficult it is at times.
The collective strength in that room was awe inspiring. The smiles and affirmations that I was working my Program and that my HP was working in my life was amazing. The hugs after the meeting, the eye to eye contact and the supportive hands on my shoulders felt as if my HP was right there thru them.
Today I am so grateful for having all of the online support AND having f2f support in my life. For those that haven't gotten out to a f2f meeting recently, GO! The support, strength and love is amazing.

Christy,
Thank you for sharing. I am so glad that you have that to go to. I know when i get that feeling inside, I know that my HP is soeaking to me through the group. That is such an awesome feeling. I walk away full of serenity.
It is good that you have so much support. And affirmation on working a good program helps every know and then as well.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks!
It was strange...it was like I had NO choice but to go last night. I'm not new to the Program and I have a homegroup that I attend, but for some reason, which I would be willing to bet money on that it was my HP, this thought came into my mind last night of I have to be there!
It is a long drive for me...45 minutes, but the solitude in the car, the time alone w/my HP was wonderful!

sq,
I'm glad you had a great f2f meeting. Do you know if there was anyone at that meeting or in your Al-Anon meetings in your home town that is my age, 18? If so, how we're they treated? I've never been to a f2f meeting of any kind and I'm thinking of possibly doing it in the future but I'm afraid I'll feel weird because I feel it will be full of husbands or wives and I would be the only COA.
