Someone suggested that I introduce myself...
Permalink  

Someone sent me a message that my "posts are deep, thoughtful," but nobody knows who I am.

He also wrote please introduce yourself to us - I think you'll find a lot of friends on here.

I never thought of introducing myself... rather letting people know who I am through my writings.  This is a more difficult than posting my writings, but Ill take his kind suggestion.

Hi, Im Generic Writer... a VERY grateful member of Al-Anon.  

I created my Al-Anon blog because Im a father struggling to make sense of my sons addiction.  And I wanted to share with others my experience, strength and hope, and the simplicity...the beauty...that is Al-Anon.  

I stay anonymous for two reasons: so that I can write about Al-Anon (...we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films... I consider Internet part of that), and to keep my sons anonymity.

Al-Anon is not a group I ever wanted to join, and Im still looking forward to my graduation.  As they say, though...I came to Al-Anon to fix my son, I stayed to heal myself.  

And Im now VERY grateful that I found this loving room.  Thank you for your kindness.

GW

GW,

Thank you for the introduction.  It is so nice to get to know our newcomers a little bit better. 

Yesterday a member said in our morning meeting that I don't think people wake up one morning and say my life is terrific, I think I'll go to Alanon.  Many of us go in spiritually crawling on our hands and knees asking for help.

So, welcome to the board.  I do so look forward hearing more from you. I am glad you are part of the MIP family.

In support,

Tommye

HI GW! I am Michelle. I am also a grateful member of Al-Anon, who came seeking advice on a hopeless situation and ended up learning that it starts with me, no situation is hopeless, and there can be peace, serenity, and happiness whether my loved one or drinking/using or not. Nice to meet you, glad to have you. I plan to check out your blog.
