Hey guys...Sorry I did not quote source for those posts...
I was going through some old posts of mine and notes of mine that I had saved over this 5 years and don't KNOW where I got the info from......SO for now "source unknown".....I surf my old notes...old posts.....internet....type from books....I cannot even think where I had originally found this stuff....I just put it here to help us to think and work on something...
Hope that ends any confusion.....I think most of you have seen my stuff from past/ present that IF I know the SOURCE....I put it on the post......Like when I used to do my "takes" on the hope for today or hazeldon.org stuff....I posted the SOURCE!!!!
Next time if I do not know the SOURCE (I got private message about this) I will not share it.....the "source" could have been ME, taking notes, when working step 4....I know I took a BUNCH of notes when I was doing step 4....So whatever....I hope I didn't screw up the group doing a sincere hearted, albeit not accepted thing.....
The last time I "goofed up" it was over some posts I did re: relationships that got deleted because they were not alanon oriented
Do I belong here??? I keep messing up!!! Keep doing stuff wrong and getting "pm's" telling me I did something wrong..(2)...I have only been here not even a month, LOL and I keep messing up....
I NEED recovery, I hope that I can "behave" and not keep messing up!!!!! How many screw ups b4 I get kicked????
I mean well....I really want to be a blessing, REALLY!!!! However I am almost afraid to post in the fear I'll get another "pm" telling me I did something not acceptable......
Will SOMEONE tell me the RULES here, because I am tempted to just WALK AWAY.....LET GO and LET GOD.......Find another place to recover!!!!
I hope you stick around :) .. I to have gotten IM's about my post, I think many of us have, I know of a couple... I don't know the "black & white" of it either, but I do Not take offence to it either... What I see as helpable and loving and caring, may not be so to other "al-anoners" on this board that get to make that dicission... I'm Ok with that...
I got my post Removed about a month or so ago, because I friend of mine new that i was going thru a hard time, and I posted the "Pick Me Up" that she sent to me... I was told since it wasn't al-anon lit that they removed it...I sent my apoligys to the "Board" and moved on... Sheet Happen's I'm told...
Just let it go and move on... We are all here for recovery, and somethings are just out of our control...
I didn't have a problem "Not Knowing" who posted it 1st.. But I am not the judge.. I am the spectater as all.. I hope that you continue to share your post, I have learned alot from them and have enjoyed your friendship, and your struggles, hurdles, and love & caring, strength and recovery... :)
Let Go & Let God Have that little Tick in your day :) Take what you like and leave the Rest "I Was Told". :)
no worries, your post have been a help to me over the last few days so if thats any comfort.
It IS a comfort!!! THANK you for telling me that I help folks.....I guess it happens to other members...Gotta quit thinking I am "singled out" ..That old crap goes back to when I WAS singled out when young.....This is a lesson for me to realize that as Jozie says "sheet happens" and Robin said that she got the pm's too....So yea, I gotta just keep on taking care of me...Voice my feelings..Be they right or wrong and then move on..
thanks all you guys for making me feel NOT alone...LOL.....The recovery beat goes on hey?????
I am sure u belong here , the monitors for this board try hard to keep this Al-Anon program as true as u would find in a f2f meeting . What we read outside of a meeting is up to us , recovery comes from all kinds of diff places . we do not discuss other programs or literature in f2f in an effort to keep Al-Anon pure it has lasted and been proven to work for over 50 yrs now so why mess with something that works ?
school is hard and I am tired !!!! I have a presentation tomorrow, a lesson to present, going to practice it on my son tonight. I have a 15-20 minute lesson to present on Monday.
