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 wanted to share my gratitude for a feeling of inner peace that has grown from the tiniest seed that was planted when I first found alanon. As I look back, I can see there were times the seed of inner peace just sat within me, not sprouting, but still possible as I learned how to put one foot in front of another. There were other times, where I knew I was really growing spiritually and I could feel my sense of peace grow. Even with an active alcoholic in my life. Of course, there were also times where I lost faith, and let the peace fade.
Now, today? I feel good about myself, about how I can apply the program in all my affairs, and about my relationship with my HP. I walked this evening and could feel HP all around me - the breeze on my face, the warmth of the sun on my arms, the calm breathing, the red tinged sunset. When I experience nature, and allow myself to take it in, to experience the moment - that's when I'm closest to my HP.
That sounds great Rocky, thanks so much for sharing. I too am just beginning to experience moments of peace for which I am grateful for. Reading posts like yours and all the others reminds me I am not alone on this journey....which brings me even more peace : )
May that peace & serenity always be with you. You are a wonderful example of what happens when we push through the tough times and stick with this program. I know your hubby is looking down on you & smiling. I am very proud of you. Much love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
