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 came to the board earlier feeling lonely and depressed lots of negative thinking and self pity. I ready quite a few posts before I decided to post thankfully.
GUESS What my mood had changed I didnt feel alone or depressed anymore.
just want to say thanks to you all I know you all get as much as I do from Al anon.
My sponsor says are you coming for your medicine tracy when I am attending a meeting. She also says miss a meeting for a week and you become Weak. I go to two face to face meetings a week and wish I could do more. In between read my books and come on here so try and take my medicine as often as possible; DONT THINK IT IS POSSIBLE TO OVERDOSE ON AL NON BUT WHAT A WAY TO GO.
Have a great weekend...so glad your not feeling alone or depressed anymore. When i feel that way, which I do alot, I come on here, and it does help, even if its for just a little bit. We are all traveling the same paths together, and we have to lean on each other for support. Strangers reaching out across the miles to come together as one.. Take care (((Hugs)))
Great metaphor. I pile Alanon on me. Meetings when I can, AA meetings when I can't find Alanon, call my sponsor, read lots of literature, come here often. Some days I do need more than others. It helps alot. I am so glad you are here for us.
I credit this board with saving my sanity! There are no Alanon meetings near me - and although the board does not replace f2f meetings - it goes a long way towards.
I am upbeat most of the time but when I go down it is very down. Coming on here when down and in the chat room, always cheers me up. I always leave with a smile. :)
So thank you to all who do such a great job in keeping the board going and also give such encouragement to those of us who struggle with what's going on in our lives.
