For the longest time, I have been suffering w/ the lack of group, let alone conscience. I am definitely done trying to please the lack of interest in our Al anon unsuccessful meeting. People have been filtering in & out unable to commit. Me & another member have been keeping this meeting going for years. I enjoyed it while it flourished & grew for awhile. I just can't stop a sinking ship. I hope I am not sounding angry here. I just need to state my case for the record.
The meeting is officially closed. It is going to be removed from the schedule soon. The church will be notified tonight. The door is closed & I am done.
I will still attend other meetings. I am not giving up on the program--I have put to much time into my recovery & I am still living w/ some serenity!
When you know you're done, you're done! Glad you did what you know to be right for you! Not an easy decision to make. I'll bet it feels good to you to let go of all the responsibility.
You did the right thing... if your pour time and effort into something and it brings neither results nor enjoyment, it is time to redirect your time and effort elsewhere.
Thank you for doing your part to keep this wonderful program available to all -- when you look back on this, I hope it will be with pride for all the good you did while it lasted rather than regret over its ending.
That's sad but you gave it your best shot. It amazes me that people don't keep coming back. I suppose we are powerless over others recovery. Take care hoot.x
