I told "My Story" this last Thursday night at the open AA/Alanon meeting. I just wanted you all to know how enriching this was for me. I was nervous but it just felt so right to do. The members of AA/Alanon want my AH and I to be the speakers at the next roundup. What a compliment! Will we do this? I think so, the best way to keep it is to give it away. It is still so unbelievable to me how much I have grown. I look back on these past two years in amazement at how different my life and outlook really is. This program is amazing! Thanks for listening!
Hearing this gives me such hope. I just attended my 1st f2f this past week. I've been with my AH for 13yrs and had my 1st glimpse of him sober this past year (job required some form of couseling and he chose AA for 6mos) It was amazing but over the last week he has started drinking and lying again. I've talked to him and he of course says not to worry but I'm writing tonight after he's been "working" all day. He's not as drunk as I expected but it's enough for my son to pick up on and ask if we can please move out tomorrow (he's 11). Reading your post helps me believe this could work and I could keep my family intact.
