I think we have all asked that question when we arrived in the rooms. Working the Steps gave me some insights into what I did and how I thought that did not serve me. Mostly I found that I was all too human and imperfect and that I wanted to be perfect and know all the answers.

Today I'm grateful to be alive and healthy and able to see things in another way. Today I choose to be happy and positive , I accept the fact that my husband is still sick and the fact he states he healthy, it's ok . Not to agree with it. I hold no resentment for Sunday night , if I had to go back and do that night over' I wouldn't I made it to my meeting . Lost the rest of my thought I will be back . Thank you to al Alon for being my support when I'm in need
Sweetie there is nothing wrong with you...like the rest of us, you fell in love with a sick person. If shows that you have a wonderfully open heart...now it needs to expand to embrace YOU. In time you will be able to discern who to invest your time with so that you are fulfilled with loving relationships. I am glad you are here with us so we can love on you. Stay on track with your meetings and you will be so grateful for your life. (((hugs to infinity)))
I agree with Betty and I believe most of humanity walks around believing there is something wrong with them; we have so much shame. Of course, we all have shortcomings, which, through al anon, we become courageously vulnerable, acknowledge our shortcomings, take appropriate action to correct and we give to others in generous service, which in turn helps us to get even further along in our transformation. I love how it works. There really is no right or wrong about us, it just is. As Jerry pointed out, this is good early change on your part...keep it up and keep coming back
Kids blame themselves for all that goes wrong in their early years. The question - what is wrong with me - according to Grateful(so take it with a grain of salt) - can be changed to what is right about me on an assets list. I've spent years looking at what is wrong or missing. No additions to that laundry list got me anywhere for very long. It just helped me stay in situations or locked into behaviors that weren't healthy or honoring of me as a human being with gifts and with limits.
