I can't get on here very often so I will just say that I have so much more to say that I have to say! I am so frustrated w/ my mom. I love her & respect but my tolerance level is still very low. I am so in need of more meetings w/o her there. I went to two meetings that she wasn't at that I felt so much better when I left them that I was literally happy out of my mind!

Also I will go to any lengths to go to a meeting. I don't like it when people make excuses. I can't anymore. I have a program that teaches me to be there for others & I will be darned if I am going to give up on the newcomers.

Yesterday, I was at the hospital which happens to be over 60 miles away from my home but I was there for my husband but that is not what I am getting at. I went there knowing that the only way that I could get Alanon literature into the hospital was on the sly. For you who don't know the story: I had an incident recently on this very issue. I think I can handle it now! Thanks to the Program & my God I am not afraid!

So, I can handle what is in front of me & do the next logical thing. I am not a dummy; I have a pretty good idea how to say the things I need to say including the Serenity Prayer. I also know why we say it at the beginning of every meeting. We all have situations that we have to accept that we can't change. My mother like I have said before I have to tolerate. I have to accept her like she is . I can't change her--all I can change is me!

Now I am off the soap box. Everyone have a good rest of the day as you a reading this. I will be here trudging the road to happy destiny. I hope I will see some of you someday as I move on!

Totally cool me!
