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 am new to the group and wanted to share. I grew up with my mothers alcoholism and Saturday night I finally had enough and it was worse than usual. I ended up in the ER and no one understands. All of my family thinks I am insane now and no one understands. I wrote a few blogs about my life but I am not finished and I also wrote one about what happened saturday night and I would like to share with you all and get your feedback. You can leave a comment on my blog if you'd like. It would be greatly appreciated. I could use the support right now. thanks.
Keep coming, you are in the right place. I understand, i can't blog, journal, listen or vent enough some days. With patience and understanding from this group and some amazing friends i can now see my family as troubled but love them for who they are. It's not easy, i had to put in a lot of alone time and put space between seeing the family and worked on myself.
There is a meeting tonight at 9 pm eastern time, please join us.
You are not alone here and many can relate to what your going through....right down to death. I was a mess when I came here a year ago. I was crazy when I started Al-anon. I'm in recovery now and I have let go of my A and let HP have him.
You too can have some peace when you are truly ready for it. When your sick and tired of being sick and tired.....go to your local Al-anon meeting,,,,sit down and listen. The rewards will be great.
Prayers and support coming your way.....keep coming back.

We who have lived with or loved people with drinking problems and attend Al-Anon know that with meeting attendance, a good sponsor, learning and applying the Al-Anon steps and principles to your life that no matter what your troubles or what troubles you, you can get help and you can heal from some of the damage this disease has inflicted on you. Keep coming back here, too.
