Thank you, wp, for this reminder. I love that the program has such a simple and welcoming requirement for admission.
Another passage I have been thinking about lately is in the Suggested Al-Anon Welcome, "... as we learn to place our problem in its true perspective, it loses its power to dominate our thoughts and our lives." There is no guarantee our problem will disappear, but it will lose its dominance.

I think the expectations of al anon are to leave your expectations st the door. When I first went to al.anon which was decades ago I was incredibly judgmental. Needless to say I did not.stick around. Then as I grew up in a dysfunctional family my boundaries were way off. Learning where I began and others ended was an education
I am glad you are willing to look.at al.anon. Going to al anon was life changing for me Some of the skills I learned in al.anon have been incredibly helpful to me.
