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.
I know several of us attend face to face meetings. If you are like me, you missed the memo on the fact that Al-Anon decided to start a working copy of a 4th Reader for Al-Anon members. They are asking for members to sign in at their webpage using your group's name with afg, going to the individuals/members page, finding publications, and new reader submissions. (This is not verbatim - just general information.) There is information on what they are wanting and how to go about writing it and submitting it. I am going to do it - just for the fun of it - to see what happens. I have wanted a new reader with more submissions by parents and grandparents of adult children/grandchildren and although they are welcoming more of those submissions, they are also wanting diversity. A Today's Reminder can also be part of your submission. Hope some of you will write, too, if you haven't already. It would be fun if some of our submissions are accepted and then in print for years and years to come.
David wrote today on Concept 4 - the Key to Harmony is Participation. Maybe this is one of the ways some of us might do it?

I think so, too. It would be a grand thing if we could celebrate together that one or several of us share our e/s/h in a reader. Thanks, Betty, for the encouragement.
I thought about it grateful but i dont know if it would be good enough? Perfectionism maybe, again. I think i could share soemthing that would be helpful. Thanks for bringing it here, good idea.x
I understand, elcee. I have written different submissions for the forum and one was chosen for a spring edition about two years ago. I'm going to try to write several articles for the new reader based on their criteria and 3 questions that I can relate to and just see where it all goes. I wanted a new reader, so I guess I need to do my part in helping to put it together? Maybe others will, too? I certainly do agree with you - you could share something that would be helpful. You do it here now.
