In working Step One, I have come to realize that want to find peace and serenity for my life. I need to change my behaviors and learn how to take care of myself. I realize my life has always been unmanageable due to growing up in an alcohoholic home and currently married to an alcoholic who is in recovery. I must stop trying to control it and take it one day at a time. Break free from the past events that were hurtful to me and live in today one day at a time. Stop hiding my feelings...isolating myself...learn to be who I am and share how I am feeling with others. Let it out in the open to heal! Before coming to Alanon I felt hopeless that I would never be able to put the past behind me and let go of it completely...I know now that I can ...no pain or crisis can keep me from being serene and happy. With my HP I can learn to live with the disease that life has thrown my way and learn new and improved ways to cope with the behaviors of the addicts to have a more positive outlook on my own life.
I am grateful today to have the program and be able to share with others who may be feeling the same way in which I have felt. Finally being able to break free from the secrets and isolations. I can live my life more manageable one day at a time!!
Thanks, Brightmommy
