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 have only admitted this to one person, but I hardly left the house when the liquor store was open. I guess I thought in my twisted mind that if I was home from 11-7 all would be good. When I look back I think wow I really was the alcohol police. I don't do that anymore and it has given me such freedom. If he drinks, he drinks. If he wants to get out with me fine and if not fine too. I am only responsible for myself and no one else. I sure wish I would have seen this years ago, but at least I have now. Al-Anon works it really does. Thanks everybody.
Oh wow. Yes I remember feeling like a high-tension wire until 10pm when all of the liquor stores in our old town had closed and I could finally relax. What a way to live!!
Thanks to you too. We're doing it together and isn't the freedom fantastic

Great Recovery Jen and Ms.M. It is amazing how fear creeps in and haunts us.
So glad that Alanon gave me tools to live with the courage, and wisdom to live life on livfe's terms.
