a new look at powerlessness


well I got to the box at the bottom of the closet only to find that they were not my alanon books but aa books of my sons.  I decided to go ahead and read step one from the aa 12 X 12.  Not much difference from alanon.  Then I got out a piece of paper and wrote down the actions I had taken in the last few months to control people places and things and looked at how they worked for me..I see that hp sent back a message that read loud and clear...No Way on that one...quite an eyeopener. 

I also read the section in the big book to the wives.  I don't know about that but maybe I need to read it again.  I am going to try to keep an open mind.  as a repeat alanoner I know I just need to listen.

Still on the lookout for my alanon books, but will keep plugging away with what I have, if not found by my next meeting I will buy some nice new ones for the nice new start I am going to make on my alanon journey.

Your support and encouragement is appreciated.  Jerry. your responce to my last post made me wonder are you a  long lost relative?  you described me to a "T"

Probably why it's called the Al-Anon Family Groups...LOL  Actually it is the similarities
between the members that I was told to focus on because as long as I was looking
for differences I wouldn't "get it".  How true.

First promise from within Al-Anon which came true for me?  "If you keep and open
mind you will find help."  I see you mentioned it here also.  Hmmm maybe a dna
check would be more surprising.   Hah!!  (((((hugs))))) smile
