Thanks for the support yesterday! It was interesting. The A got very angry several times. I only briefly felt scared or anxious. It left within minutes. It came up several times, and it left several times. This is amazing progress for me. I am much more in control of myself. THANK YOU ALANON! Lyne
I am so glad that your alanon tools served you so well. It is true we are powerless over others and in using the tool we are enabled to repsond in a constructive manner
Well Gerry, I mentally got ready for what was going to come. I knew my brother and I would set the A off. So I did a lot of self talk, I can't, He can, I will let Him. I recited the Serenity Prayer. I felt determined not to let the A take away my sanity because he has none. And as a last resort, if he be-
came out of control, I was going to call the police. All the work I'm doing on the board, with my sponsor, at my F2F, and my reading, is working. It works if you work it! I have been miserable for years with the A I live with. My dedication to program is reaping reward. And I am so very grateful, Lyne
