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.
As I try to live the Al-Anon program each day , I find myself with the right to and responsibility for a new set of values and attitudes , I still have the right to become upset but I find that I also have the responsibility to turn away from anger.
I have the right to be supportive of others but the responsibility for not taking over their lives and problems.
I have the right to discuss and the responsibility not to lecture . I have the right to look back but the responsibility to look forward.
I have the right to learn a better way to live and the responsibility to share it with others. I have the right to expect happiness but the responsibility to create it.
I have the right to be understood and the responsibility to be understanding. I have the right to dignity with out sophistication and serenity with out superiority.
I have the right to live and the responsibility to let live, I have the right to take it easy and responsibility to make it easy to take.
I have the right to live one day at a time, and the responsibility to make the most of each day .
Finally I have the right to let go , and the responsibility to let GOD.
For all who merely want to give the program lip service and come on here to whine about what's not going their way....perhaps, just perhaps it's cause they aren't willing to make the changes.
Definition of insanity, doing the same things over again and expecting different results.
Love sharing the program with you thanks for allowing me to walk this journey with you.
As Jerry & Betty both repeated.... with the rights comes responsibility.
