The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I got a phone call back from a lady who is the contact person for my area, and she just said they don't make "home visits" and they are a separate entity from AA. I may just have to get someone to help me with Java on my puter and go to f2f AA meetings and do my best. this was just such a blow because I didn't feel any care in her heart when she talked to me both times.
Feeling low about this. Like they don't want to get involved. Like I am going to hurt them somehow. I really was hoping on someone from program coming to see me. I guess I will have to figure something out. I want to get into MIP chat but I can't seem to get my Java fixed so I can do it.
Feeling very tired and sore and mighty depressed today.
I know I still have hope, but I still even miss my A, my sweetie, the man I truly love. He and I don't see each other much anymore. I want to visit him at the motel on a good day .I have the option of leaving. It is down the street from my house.
I have a friend here who has been so nice to me and doesn't ask anything from me. I am confused, tired sore and worn out.
However, two ladies from a church I have never been to are coming to help me straighten up my apartment tonight. I am so tired I don't know what good I myself will do.
I know my HP is working in my life.
Is there anyone who uses MSN chat who would be willing to talk to me sometimes? hippietrippiechick is my handle on that too. I am lonely, and feel like the world is crumbling around me. With this recent news I don't get a very good feeling about alanon in my area. Someone please help

Hang in there and keep posting. I don't think the open AA meetings would be a bad thing at all. If you are having trouble with your computer, there is a service around here called "Computer Nerdz". They run out to your home and work on your pc. There are also some places like computer cafe that would let you bring your pc in and they would fix it for you.
Perhaps a quick visit from one of those guys would be of value. It is really irritating to not be able to get that infernal box to do what you want.
Remember to breath. The last time my computer at home crashed I realized how obsessed I was with getting on it. Read a book for the first time in years and really enjoyed it. Sometimes things can either irritate or present oportunities... depends on what you do.
Know that we are here for you.
Take care of you!

Sometimes I prefer the AA meetings. It has helped me understand the disease in many ways. My local Alanon meetings weren't great. Instead a friend suggested a support group for family and friends of addicts. It was not AA or Alanon based. It was very helpful just to have someone to talk to. Then I found this board. Keep looking in your area for support groups and don't give up on the local AA or Alanon groups. Sometimes you just have to find the right mix of people to "click" with.
Love and blessings to you.

Didn't get anywhere ? they did return your call 2 times . Perhaps your expectations were a little high when u made your reach out call . Please find meetings for yourself . Open AA meetings are great once in awhile but it is still about them and i got tired of talking about them eventually . I needed to find out why I did the things I did , why I allowed someone to treat me with disrespect over and over again. Untll I started to show myself some respect I got none . funny how that works.
