Grateful to be here
Permalink  

Been avidly reading here for a while and just joined so I can start sharing.  So much here I relate to.  Thank you everyone for being here.

A little about myself. I am an A, with about three years sober time under my belt.  My hub remains an active A.  We were 'drinking buddies' for several years until I quit.   My parents were both A's.  Dad active A till he passed, Mum dry drunk from when I was little. I attended 3d Al-anon meetings for about 18 months, also ACOA.  I am no longer able to attend in 3d so was very thankful to come across this site. I have a sponsor I am in contact with daily.

I love and live Al-anon.  I have built myself a life.  With boundaries, honouring my feeling.  I had all my focus on my AH, now I keep it on myself.  Working my recovery.

Glad to be here. Sunshine Girl

Welcome Sunshine Girl - what a wonderful warming picture you've chosen!
Great to have you here! Congratulations on turning things around for yourself. It is wonderful to experience to learn through Al-anon I think.

Thank you, el-cee.

My user name and picture reflect how I feel now. A couple of years ago I would have needed to pick very gloomy ones as lived in such a dark place.
