It was raining here today...tail-end of the storm perhaps...who knows, LOL.
I was just relaxing, enjoying the weekend, after a long, busy week...and decided to join the Al-Anon Without Borders...Around The World In 3 Days.
What an amazing series of sessions...just amazing. Talk about people who live a life of recovery, have strong, solid, amazing program, and who talk the talk and walk the walk...every single day.
I sat in on sessions from South Africa, NZ, Australia, Scotland, and The Netherlands. Someone I know from Canada spoke today, and it was very nice to hear him again. All over the world, the people who have real program in them, under them, around them, whatever you want to call it...they share and live Al-Anon. Doesn't matter where they are from, what language they speak, whatever...it's Al-Anon. What a wonderful program. Amazing. Miracle. Which is why I am a very grateful member of Al-Anon.
What's so amazing, so beneficial, even comforting, at least for me, is knowing that Al-Anon is just Al-Anon. No matter where you go, sure, there's stylistic changes in how a meeting is opened, closed, run, etc. -- but the Al-Anon program, the actual program, the steps, the traditions, the program itself, is the same.
What a great "day of recovery" -- actually, an entire weekend!
Have a great weekend everyone!

You are very welcome! Agreed tt...absolutely! It's amazing! I too find it so enjoyable to meet new people at meetings, hear their perspective, and also see how meetings are in other parts of the country...and the world for that matter!
