The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I went to a F2F Meeting tonight. I had not been in over 5 weeks. It was a good meeting and it gave me a lot of food for thought. I almost did not go but thought you have got to. I walked out feeling better.
Good for you Jen...Yay...bonus that you like it and came away with good feelings and affects. At the closing statement you heard in part, "...if you keep and open mind, you will find help". I hope you take that open mind back to the meeting again. Thanks for the share that it works. ((((hugs))))
I have never been to a meeting that didnt give me something I needed sometimes [like last night] I go into the rooms feeling fragile, confused and bowed down and I leave with a new awareness and my head held high ( even if i've sobbed during the meeting)
I love meetings and I will fight going left and right and leave thinking .. why was I such a dork and not wanting to go?
So glad you went and found what you needed in that moment. It really does make a difference!!
Hugs P :)
PS - I love the open AA meetings and find I am attending many more of those than my regular alanon meetings I have to get out of myself and my funk that way.
