I went to my home meeting last night & I always felt safe & comfortable but it was different last night. As I sat down, I could FEEL the love in the room, like it was just for me but everyone was sharing it with each other. It was very powerful. As I understand the program more & more I find myself sharing from my experiences & opening up like I didn't know I could. I discover so much about myself when I open up, a lot of time I don't even know whats going to come out! But to feel that love was something very special. I have not felt love in a long, long time & to feel such powerful, unconditional love was wonderful. A year ago I couldn't even remember what love was, all I knew was chaos. I Wish I had found Alanon sooner, but am happy that I found it. So I'd like to say to myself from 1 year ago, the lurker who couldn't post because it would then become real, who couldn't go to a meeting because I'm too afraid, "GET YER A$$ TO MEETING YOU FOOL" I have been looking but I don't see a "submit to former self" button, so I'll submit it just for today.

I too Came here Broking & Without Self Love, or really Allowing myself to "Feel" Love... Its is a True Blessing to have such a place to come to and Share my Life, Love, Fears, Cares, doubts... etc... ;) When I Got here, I Didn't think it was for me AT ALL... Because THEN My Qualifier was my Afather, and He had Just Past away! But Since I got here in 2008, and Joined My Home Groups in 2009 the Journey has been UNBELIEVEABLE.... And i am So Grateful, I "Got of my A$$" and Made this Choice FOR ME!
It Truly Can Change your Life If You are Willing to Allow your Experiences a Chance to Breathe, and you will be AMAZED At how much Your Life Journey will in turn HELP So Many that Listen ... Its Been a True Blessing & I Learn from Each & Everyone of my Al-Anon Family...
Thanks for Being here, and Sharing Your LOVE & Experiences... Works if Ya Work it... And YOUR WORTH IT
