Today's author shared in wonderment how AlAnon interaction at a local level is a part of a worldwide group, that we are truly not alone. The ties that bind us are the positive experiences we have and share when we focus on the common goal of understanding the alcoholic and encouraging the relatives and friends who suffer.
Reminder: AlAnon is much larger than our local group, and our positive efforts become part of the worldwide exchange. What we put in can help many, even those we never meet.

I marvel at the unity of the program as it gathers individuals of all nations, belief systems, socioeconomic circumstances without distinction, and guides the group and its individuals to a new way of life.
I am grateful for the new, healthier perspectives the program guides me to each day, and a higher power that helps me take steps on the path of recovery if I am willing, humble, and honest in my endeavors to follow the steps, traditions and concepts

Good morning Paul - thank you for the daily, your service and your ESH.....I too am often left speechless at how this program that touches and reaches so, so many allows anyone from any where equal placement at the table. Having survived politics in my FOO, many jobs, volunteer work and more, I find it completely fascinating that in recovery, we are all equals and each contributes when they can what they have.
I too am very grateful that recovery gives me a better way to deal with life and heal as necessary. Make it a great day - stay cool....going to get hot, hot and hotter this week!

Good morning Paul, thank you for your service.
I am often amazed at the reach of AlAnon. When I travel, I can always find a meeting to attend, and there is hope in all the rooms I have visited. AlAnon is like a drop in a lake, the impact of that drop ripple out and impact many. To me, that is a beautiful thought.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Thank you for your service, Paul, this is a great reading :) Truly, I think Alanon has been one of the most wonderful, positive things to happen to me, probably, the most positive, and I'm so grateful :) To finally begin to understand and accept me, it has opened up a door to a happier life, and it really doesn't matter where we come from or how old we are etc. Its amazing, and I'm amazed! Hugs to all on this Wednesday
