Thank you hotrod:) I feel as though I really shouldn't have any problems at the moment, my life is really good and I don't know why this has started now! I suppose I must be learning something but at the moment I'm not sure what! For about the last month or so I've been applying the steps and slogans in my life and slowly but surely it felt as though the obsession was starting to lift from my thoughts, but I've had a bad week:(and from reading the literature I know it's better to share if I can! Thank god for this program as without it I think I would have been committed! Thanks again

Brandi You are not alone I was so happy when I found out that I was affected by the disease of alcoholism and that there was a program that could help me to lift the negative attitudes I had taken in to protect myself.

You are correct the Literature, Steps, Slogans, ar the keys to replacing the anger, obsession, self pity and fear. As you have discovered Sharing with another is also very important.

Keep coming back, Living one day at atime, focused on taking care of your emotional needs with a trust in a Higher Power. It works when we work it.

Glad that you are here.

I am glad you found us and don't feel strange growing up with A's just does things to us. Al-anon, the literature, MIP and my sponsor have helped me move through so much. I am sending you love and support!
