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 never heard of the book but I probably could have written it!!!
Alanon books like:
Alcoholism the Family Disease points out that anger is the unhealthy weapon used by both the alcoholic and we alanonics.
It says The Greeks believed :"The Gods First Make Angry those who They Wish to Destroy" The same holds true for this disease!!!
Alanon books like:Courage to Change, How Alanon Works, Paths to Recovery, all focus on how I can recover from dealing with the anger and ,fear generated by this disease.
Alanon's main focus is to show me how NOT TO REACT to the madness caused by this disease. Before I found alanon and was interacting with the A alone, my anger could have matched his and then some.
Alanon books , meetings and steps lifted that.
Take what you like and leave the rest
