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 rarely post, but thought I would do so today to encourage anyone who has not yet gotten the book "Getting Them Sober" to get it.
I am close to my divorce being finalized. I was stewing about something last night. The book title popped into my brain and I went in search for it. I opened the book and my attention focused on the middle paragraph which addressed exactly what I was driving myself crazy over! It was "eerie" but not. I do believe that we are guided if we allow ourselves to be.
I had not read that book in 3 years. I had purchased it when I went to live in an apartment for 8 months. Then I return to try even harder to make it work. After nearly 3 years of trying extra hard, I filed for divorce.
I'm not promoting divorce! However, I'm promoting the book. Perhaps it will prevent a divorce. As I read it now, I see what the author is saying on a much deeper level. It gives me so much peace.
I hope it will give you peace, too.
