Ok, I Hope No One Finds this offensive, but I read this & Had a Chuckle and thought maybe you would too... I Remember going thru this with my Mother when I was Drinking as a Young Teen... She didn't catch me Often, but when she did, this is about how it made me feel... Yet the "Insanity" I was Living in Within my own head... I Didn't "Get it" Till 20yrs later!

The Gentleman in this Pic reminds me of My AGrandpa from back in the day... Hat & all.. And he would say such a thing as well... That is the Chuckle for me.. For me to have a Flash Back Memory of a Man that has been Gone from My Life for over 25yrs and Addiction won the fight with him too, but he still brings a Smile to my Face, Now that I Understand his Disease... As Well as My Own...

Understanding for Me & In My Program has been a Saving Grace... I thought before Al-Anon I was a Very Compassionate person, but when I Look back at all the Pain and Rath I Left, At times I Get Upset that I was So Very Judgemental of others, and sometimes those others where very dear to me... I just didn't see My Own part in it... I'm Grateful I can Now...

So Live In Humor The Best ya Can, Cause I Promise you... It will bring you so Much More Peace of Mind, Body & Spirit ;) And your Worth it ...

lol :)

Thanks for Letting me Share
