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 feel bad I haven't been here for a few days but I have been so busy with work, the work on my home and making a few more meetings in the last week. I quit my counselor and picked up meetings instead. I felt I was at a point in my program that Al-anon was enough and why spend so much money and not getting anymore out of it. I'm also without a sponsor right now so that isn't too good so finding one is a priority.
Haven't talked to my son in a few weeks so not sure what's going on with his life. I know he is being evicted so a sponsor is really needed right now. I feel the fear and worry well up in my mind and heart so I better get my act together before I react before I think. Him being homeless is going to be a hard one to handle. He did it to himself I know but it still hurts. I need my HP more than even now.
OK....I have some catching up to do here (((( hugs ))))

'Homeless" is a term which will only make you feel more worried. His current living arrangements are up... Yeah it's serious but until he's under a bridge, I wouldn't call him "homeless." He can go to rehab, he can live with an AA sponsor or peer temporarily....a shelter, halfway house....who knows what he will do, but "homeless" is probably not where it's at..at least not in the way you would ordinarily view "homeless." Try not to project Cathy. There is a healthy medium between emotional cut off and catastrophic worry.
Hi, Cathy. I was wondering how you were. I am used to seeing you on the board. Thank you for an update on what is happening at your house and in your life. Continued prayers for you and for your son. Blessed Sunday to you as well.
You know your right Mark. He's smart enough the he's always told me I WILL NEVER BE HOMELESS. So I'm going to take his word for it. I just hope he's really really scared right now. He needs some really good deep down fear......
Thank you for the ESH..... When your in some crazy fear mode you do project and forget the way it could/will go.
Let Go Let God

Hi Cathy
It is good to hear from you, thanks for sharing an update. I am feeling the same about ending my counselor and focusing on more meetings. Keeping you in my prayers.
