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.
That means that since I found the doors of the Al-Anon Family Groups on this same day in 1979...for 31 years I've never missed a blessing. I am most of all grateful beyond my wildest expression and to stay that way I will keep coming back.
That MIP has become a part of my program is also a blessing. My Higher Power knew that John F was out there for Jerry F and provided this oasis. Mahalo and Aloha to all of MIP (((((hugs)))))
Happy 31st Jerry - you're looking well for a man of this fine vintage!! We at MIP are very happy that you found us, AND that we found you..... Your contributions here are invaluable....

Jerry, congratulations and much thanks for having the courage to walk these miles ahead of so many of us, so we would have footsteps to follow. You sir, are a blessing!
Your post reminded me of something I heard when I was new and was always wondering "why do I need Alanon" or "do I need Alanon". Well a very wise member once shared that Alanon has a guarantee "if you try at least six different meetings and find that Alanon is not for you, Alanon will give you a 100% refund on your misery" I said thank you but no thank you and have been coming ever since.
Happy 31st! Maria
