Dear ESH Family: I have been away from all of you since approximately 5/2007 due to a very serious accident and loss of my internet due to financial reasons. I have missed you terribly.
I am a recovering Al-Anon and a recovering AA as well. A 38-year old mom of a beautiful 14-year old son named Jonathan and engaged to a wonderful soul-mate named Ken.
Even though my physical recovery process has been very painful and slow (had a triple cervical fusion 7/08 - had titanium installed in my neck WOW) and go through extensive Physical Therapy now...sorry to talk on about this now...sorry to bore people...I would like to share/hear experience/strength and hope together again with all of you.
We need this...I know I'm preaching to the Choir here. YOU all are my angels...always have been, and I truly from the bottom of my heart thank you for this e-group and for you being there for me and for others out there who need this.
I am also a sufferer of BiPolar illness, which is stable now...but other recovery is causing pain/agony that makes me feel internally like I am starting my recovery process all over again and I would love to hear on this topic if you would be gracious enough to do this on open forum/direct emails to me also. When I was a member originally, I didn't have the nerve to respond to topics or make friends...but I have gained the courage now...and I thank my HP and other Fellowships and my Best Friend and SoulMate and Son for helping me to do so....but to be honest with all of you, I have slacked terribly with my Al-Anon work and Steps...so I make a call/a desparate plea out to you for help and support for this. Thank you graciously for reading. Blessings to you all. Much love and Peace, as always, Kateri (Sabrina R.)

hate so much that you went thru such a physical ordeal.
One of my dearest friends suffers from BiPolar illness also and has been such a struggle for her to get her meds regulated. But now that they are, she is doing very well. I am very grateful that my HP allowed me to be a dear friend to her, to help her when I could during those struggles.
I believe Al-Anon is one of those wonderful programs that when we walk back in - it welcomes us with open arms & open hearts.
So welcome home, my friend - welcome home.
Wishing you Serenity, Joy & Love, Rita
