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 keep thinking about my meeting this past Tuesday.
We had 5 newcomers. So we cut the program portion short in order to share our story of what brought us to Al-Anon and allow the newcomers to share if they wished. Some of us have 10+ years and others have been coming only a few weeks, and everything in between.
One of our members said she found herself, and that is the gift, and I thought how true, I'm thankful because I too have found myself.
There was so much hope offered, and I am thankful!
It's been 9 weeks since I returned home. We have our moments but overall I see progress. I'll celebrate my 1 year Anniversary this Monday, and I am thankful!
Hugs Jackie!!! Congrats on your anniversary!! Amazing what a difference one year can make!!!
I love newcomers at meetings, it's a great way to be reminded and humbled that there for the grace of God go I.
