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.
It has now been 1 week no internet at my home and I have checked in a couple times, but not had time to reply. It helps me to come here and read and I just want everyone to know I am still hear listening and sending love and support to you all on your journey's toward a healthier life!
Things have been going well and I have been busy with my jobs and kids. I have been getting myself more stable emotionally and feel empowered. I am reading Al-anon books and working the steps with my sponsor and am on step 9 now. I feel better than ever and hope you all keep digging and working on your program to get through to the other side.
I love knowing I have choices and being a victim is no longer an option for me. I feel excitment and power with my upcoming move in 3 months and am higher functioning then ever before. I feel I am getting another chance at a better relationship with myself and everyone around me and more opportunities for my kids and I. I have been on MIP for one year this month and in Al-anon for a year and a half just about. The changes have been nothing but miraculous! I truly used to be my own worst enemy and if someone else wouldn't treat me bad I would do it myself. Now I know what unacceptable behavior is and agree it is unacceptable! I am feeling so good about my future and am hoping others are feeling the changes this program brings into your life.
Someone mentioned the movie "Eat Pray Love" awhile back and it is one of my favorites!!!! I love Richard saying just keep doing the work and something will give, sooo true!
