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.
As you can all plainly see, there is a member who is quite upset... well, very very upset.
As we process this, lets remember why we are here. Take what you like, and leave the rest. Obviously he is hurting very bad, and when he processes this, we want it to be a place he is still welcome. Remember how bad we all hurt in the beginning of our own programs, and identify that.
Lets keep to posting our OWN experiences, strength, and hope. Remeber, Attraction, not promotion. This is when he needs us most!
It pains me to see someone hurting, but I know that nothing I say can help right now. We each have a process to go thru. Painful as life can be sometimes, it is part of recovery.
It is nice to know that if I was particularly having a bad time and came to vent on the site, that people would be understanding and would be there to listen and share their hope and strength of recovery.
