I have been doing the same things over & over expecting different results: insanity in case you were wondering. I am sane today but tomorrow...I am expecting to be on here soon w/ good news! My sister who I was wondering before if we were estranged is coming to visit for a week starting Weds. I am so excited but nervous because of our past history. I think she has forgiven me but have I forgiven myself? I am so glad that I have a life of second chances. I can start my day over & begin again w/ a new OUTLOOK on LIFE! I am hopeful & have some serenity for the moment. My sponsor told me that if I am going to close my long-standing meeting that I have to go to one meeting a week. Without the meeting on Tues. nights we only have one alanon meeting to go to in our small town. But, that meeting has regulars if you can call them that. I enjoy that meeting so much more w/ serious participation. I am between a rock & a hard place over this situation & decision. Help me find the right answers. I will check on here either Weds. or for sure Thurs. In the meantime, I will be waiting for feedback if you have any.
((((Sis))))...for me it is always the prayer..."Place me where you want me...tell me what to do" and the lessons never fail to come back into view. My HP wants me where I can do the best with HP's will and knowing that I still listen to guide me what to do next. If I do that over and over it's amazing how much less insanity there is in my life. I've learned to keep that process simple and not try to reinvent the program. Too bad about "closing" a meeting that way...I hope you continue to be available when the newcomers comes knocking. Alcoholism isn't going to just go away very soon...I don't think hmmmmmmm. Maybe...would be nice huh? In the meantime hopefully there is an Al-Anon member close by in need of helping someone. ((((hugs))))
