to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
That's a lot of meetings to miss after ten years of alanon. It will be interesting to see how far astray I am as this disease tears it's ugly monster head at my son. My Dad was a 30 year AA member. He died on April 30 this year. I messed up with my son today. I fee terrible. I don't deserve help tonight, but I am so sad. Geeze.
We all mess up. Every day in one way or another if we're human. I don't believe I need to deserve help. I just need to admit I need it. And when I talk out what I've done with a trusted person, sometimes I learn that what I am feeling so bad about isn't as bad as I thought or was exactly what I needed to do at the time.
Welcome back Leigh . Living with the affects of the disease of alcoholism is a difficult road to travel alone. I do hope you can find face to face meetings in your community and attend We also have on- line meetings here as well. You know there is hope and help so keep coming back.
Thank you for replying. I just needed a kind word to remember that I need to go back to my meetings. I will read some alanon literature tonight and I found a meeting tomorrow at 10am thank you.
Hi eriegroupgirl, and welcome to MIP. After 18 years, I'm glad you have come back. I agree with Grateful and feel admitting we need help trumps whether or not we feel we deserve it.
Taking care of you is most important.
Please keep coming back.

YES , you DO deserve help tonight!!! been there and done that, my good alanon mate, where I mess up with someone and when i do, a quick step 4/10 and ascertaining what was actually my part and correcting it......dunno what you did w/your son, but i am sure it is fixable.....glad you are reaching out...that shows me that you are aware and awareness is 1/2 the battle........the slogan "easy does it" on yourself comes to mind....IN SUPPORT
