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.
My name is Amy and I have been in Al Anon before but not for a long time. I chose bad relationships....what I mean is I'm co-dependent. My father was an alcoholic and my last four relationships have been a disaster. My family hasnt spoken to me in two years this May....my mother, my sisters, and my 2 daughters. All because of the bad choices in relationships I have made. I have lost my job, my home, and my family. I guess you could say I have hit rock bottom. I would like to make amends to the people I have hurt through my behavior. I'm ready now to face the truth.
Welcome! I am so glad you found us here. I am sorry you are having such a hard time right now, but the pain and anguish that brought me to the understanding rooms of Al Anon ended up being the best thing that could have happened to me, so I could get the help and support and recovery I so desparately needed. Sending you so much support and welcome back!
Hi and welcome Amy! I know that is must feel so challenging right now. For me, I really did have to hit that rock bottom so that I could get my life back and find happiness and get things back on track...I am still pretty new in the program so things are a bit wobbly but I do know that for me it has only changed my life for the better. Keep coming back and glad you are here!

Nice to hear from you Daisy. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I put up my post...but hearing the positive feedback from you and Danni really made me feel good tonight. Thank you.
Welcome Amy!!! I hit a rock bottom. They hurt but they are necessary. Youre in the right place. I recommend face to face meetings and getting a sponsor.
