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 have been in Alanon off and on for years. I have recently become addicted to someone one that is a manipulative alcoholic. Yes, I should have seen it coming, but I let it happen. I am detaching, but the pain is almost unbearable at times. Just glad I found this board. I'm taking everything one hour at a time.
Keep reaching out for help - if you have been in Al-Anon before - I hope that you know you will find unconditional love, acceptance and friendship here and hopefully at a f2f meeting.
For me, there is healing and hope in the literature, step work, working with my sponsor, meetings and most of all my relationship with my HP!
Don't give up before the miracles happen in you - YOU deserve them!! HUGS, (hope, unity, gratitude and serenity) Rita

Al-Anon on and off for yrs ? Maybe this time u will stay ,this program dosen't seem to work too well part time . If I am not contiually re enforcing what I learn seems we go back to old behaviors especially in relationships .Al-Anon principles are a awsome way to live life to the fullest and this program has improved all of the relationships in my life not just with the alcoholic. I hope u go back to the meetings for your sake .
