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.
My Friends, With the exception of a few "drive bys", I have been away from this board for about a year and a half. In addition to feeling a bit overwhelmed with work, parenting, and wicked insomnia, I decided I was at a point where I was stuck, and needed to shift my energy from words to action. Thus, I gathered my al-anon arsenal and went for it. Suffice to say, it worked pretty well, but I sure feel a bit battered from the process, and am missing the love, wisdom and support of my friends. So here I am again, and unlike the first time where I was crawling and sobbing and unsure the sun would ever rise again, I come gingerly on tiptoe with gratitude, and the confidence that no matter what, I will be okay.

I had the same experience, Lou, a time came when I had to stop reading the words on the page and start living it. "...sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, it will always materialize if we work for it" that's the great news!! I'm so glad you're back (((hugs)))
