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.
In the beginning of my al-anon journey I struggled with the back and forth of really letting go of my exAh and had to learn boundaries were for me and my health. I really had trouble letting go and accepting I deserved better and healthier opportunities and until I let go, I held myself back. The steps, my sponsor, face to face meetings and MIP helped me change from the inside out and now I can't imagine living in the miserable comfort I was raised in and married into. Now I am free and it all started for me with learning how to set boundaries for myself. Sending you all love and support on your journey's!
Thanks BF I found that the only way I could let go was to think, know and feel my powerlessness.
Then acceptance kicked in and I understood, from within, that I had to begin to focus on myself and establish the boundaries you describe above.
If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. - Lao Tzu
