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 wrote a long rambling post about my feelings.. then read some of what others are going through.. and decided I have it pretty good, and maybe I need to pray for those who are really struggling today,,, thanks to ALL of us who share no matter how large or small,, you never know how what you say may help someone else...
LOVE and prayers,
Glad

Pain is pain .. everyone is in a different place and different tolerance.

I do believe that one of my huge defects was that I neglected my pain and always negated it. I too thought someone else had it harder or mine was unimportant. . That was the message I received in childhood and carried it over unconsciously to adult life The result was I always thought my pain did not count and everyone else was more important
When I crawled into alanon because I could no longer stand the pain, I finally had to own it and release it or I would have died. Please share your thoughts and pain and also your prayers with us\
Just as you get help from posts of what others are going through, those of us reading your posts learn and get help from what you are going through. It may be the day that you and I are going through something similar, or having the same thought, no matter how minor we think it is to others.
Please do share even if you think its minor.
When I first came here, I actually was told that what I am going through is nothing. I listened to what those people had to say, I agreed to them, my pain was nothing.... but to me.. I had to keep coming because I know it hurt me no matter how minor.. and guess who I am here for??? I am here for me.
