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.
Thanks to all who replied I will take on board the advice and learn as much as I can. I am not experienced enough or confident enough to respond to others postings, I would probably say the wrong thing and make you all feel worse (if thats possible). Having said that it does not mean you are not all in my thoughts, because you are!!!!!!!!
Penny - please remember that our program works by us sharing our experiences and thoughts.... You don't need to 'qualify' to be able to post here - if a post moves you, or makes you think a certain way about it, please feel free to respond. Although it's difficult, we try not to 'give advice', per se, as none of us are THAT smart!! Glad you are getting value out of the board - believe me, we can ALL learn from each other here.

I'm still relatively new myself Penny. I would like to say though that I get things out of shares of first time newbies just like 20 year vets.
Sometimes it reminds me of where I was w/o this program and where I would be without it. Sometimes it reminds me of where I'm slipping back to. Sometimes the words in the post make me think of something entirely different. Sometimes they bring a new perspective.
Share and respond away. One of the thingsI learned in this program is that you have worth.
