Thank you for posting these "Bill of Rights," BF.  They are powerful reminders of all the ways I unknowingly  hurt myself, because of my negative beliefs and my  erroneous evaluation of myself.

I am so glad that Al-Anon gave me the tools that helped me to look within and discover the splendor and   the ability to unleash the courage, serenity and wisdom to reflect it.

Thanks for your service

The biggest revelation for me was knowing I had a right to a happy life, who would have thought?

Thank you for posting these. I hadn't seen them before. I think I will be re-reading them every day for a while.
