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.
Pick up your tools, read your Al-Anon literature, follow the Steps you have learned, get a sponsor. You have choices, you don't have to be sad and crying, ask for help today. Don't wonder if you are doing the right thing, you are.....Al-Anon is tried and true. Ask yourself what is the alternative? Yikes.... Eat, drink and sleep with Al-Anon steps and traditions, until you see some light at the end of the tunnel.....then practice, practice, practice.....In support OG. Big thing that always got in my way while recovering was EXPECTATIONS, forget them don't expect anything from an alcoholic/addict, 90% of the time it will never happen and you will be miserable.....

This post when I began the program is something I needed to read about a 1000 times til I got it, no...I'm not slow...I just never thought others understood my plight or loved my child the way I did. I just thought "but if I try this one more thing", the list went on and on and on ...(insanity: doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results). It doesn't matter how long we've been here, if this one message doesn't get through...nothing else can ...begin at the beginning even Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz had to go back to step one.
