Gettin toes stepped on
Permalink  

I've been seeking guidance from HP Started reading getting them sober vol one Getting my toes stepped on so I know I'm getting a message He wants me to get. Sadness and frustration seem to be getting better and I'm finding myself more productive again as a parent, spouse and person ! To my MIP family thx for always supporting me with suggestions and info and well wishes and hugs Crazy to never meet ppl and feel such a connection.

Awesome stuff.... that book.... literally saved my sanity, if not my life....

And you're right about the connection part....  we have a 'bond' that is almost indescribable sometimes, but VERY real...

 

How does the opening in Al-Anon meetings go??  Something along the lines of:  "you may not like us, but in time, you will learn to love us, as we already love you" (or words to that effect.

This is a "safe" place to come and share your troubles, triumphs, and everything in between....  Most of us have 'touched that stove', whereby we go to our active A's for this kind of support, and end up devastated and disappointed...

Great share, great growth, great book!!!

Tom
