I really don't want to stay away!


I really don't want to stay away anymore. I am afraid that this might be my only way of communicating w/ Al anon. I am trying to find a happy medium in dealing w/ others in the program. I feel shut-out at meetings & find myself hurt & not wanting to go back. I don't feel that I have the time necessary to share my thoughts & feelings. I am coming on an
Al anon birthday too, in about a month. I don't want to have to celebrate w/o my Al anon group. I am just a little disturbed now. I don't feel totally out of synch. I am just grateful for all of you who read & post on my posts. I hope I will find my way up here--it gets lonely when I have little or no contact w/ people in the program. I will try to go to an outside meeting as I am a member of another 12-step program. I don't suggest anyone out there to stop going to meetings. I guess I am hoping that things will change. If nothing changes though, nothing changes. That is all for me now.

I love you all!

Kathleen

We always have choices despite our circumstances or other people.  Change begins with us.

I have found that when I feel I don't fit in my group , it is my problem not anything they are doing or not doing . Keep going listen to the similarities not the differences and you will find the help you need .  Our situations are all different , but this program offers the same solutions to our problems to all of us who attend .  I felt the way you are several yrs ago and my sponsor told me that I was obviously judging them , find acceptance she said  , not easy said I .  Practicing principles above personalities takes time and a lot of effort on our part. My sponsor was and is a very wise lady , I have found my biggest lessons often come from people who drive me nuts.- go figure .  She also pointed out to me a saying I hadn't heard before , If someone is bothering me it is probably because they are talking about the way I used to be or talking about something I haven't delt with yet and don't want to hear it .  She said ( If you spot it , you got it )Yikes   she also said  nothing changes til someone changes and pointed out that I was the one who had to change my attitude .  Louise
