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.
EACH MIP MESSAGE BOARD HAS AGAIN BEEN ASKED TO WORK THE 12 STEPS ON THE STEP WORK BOARD BEGINNING 10-21 AND EVERY 2 WEEKS GOING FORWARD. THE FOLOWING IS A QUOTE FROM AL ANON 12 AND 12
Twelve Steps
IN ALANON WE BELIEVE LIFE IS FOR GROWTH-PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL.GROWTH BEGAN FOR MOST OF US WHEN WE ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT COMPULSIVE DRINKING WAS NOT A WEAKNESS BUT A DISEASE AND OUR OWN ATTITUDES AND REACTIONS WERE NOT HEALTHY.OUR REFUSAL TO FACE OUR PROBLEMS, OUR BLAMING OF ALL OUR FAULTS ON THE ALCOHOLIC AND OUR SELF PITY ALL INDICATED THAT WE NEEDED HELP FOR OURSELVES.
By working the Steps for ourselves we find we have problems of our OWN and by practicing the steps we gain courage and wisdom and leave our old ways behind
THE FIRST STEP HAS BEEN POSTED AND CAN BE ACCESSED BY USING THE FOOLOWING LINK
You have to reregister I think on each different board, I have a different nickname and password there. I too had a hard time with the verification code the first few times, persistance paid off for me eventually. Hope this helps.
