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.
Alanon has taught me that life is for living, not merely existing, not putting up with unacceptable behaviour and sitting stuck in self pity waiting for a knight in shining armour to come and solve all my problems. The time for living my life is now, today. Taking pleasure and enjoying each day the best i can. I wasted almost 20 yrs existing, waiting on an alcoholic to get sober, like the walking dead. I had no right waiting, it was wrong for him and me.
I have the right, ability and courage to take my ljfe back into my own hands and live a happy life fully. Alanon taught me how to do it. I learned it. I plan on practicing the tools that keep me living. Thanks alanon people.x
Thanks LC I agree completely One Day at a Time, trusting HP, and focused on myself I am amazed at the life that has unfollded. I must admit iit was a difficult road at times but with HP's help,meetings , courage and alanon tools I was able to walk through it.
I feel the same way El-cee! You are so right!! I can honestly say that HP, MIP and Al-Anon has saved my sanity and my life. {{HUGS}} to all of you on MIP for being there for me!!

I have the rest of my life ahead of me and it sure is daunting, but also exciting. I've read quite a few of your posts el-cee and every one is helpful. Each one has given me something. Thank you
You give me strength ((El-cee)). Thank you. This is a very special place and everyone is amazing in their support and insight. I have not felt up to writing for a very long time because I have been caught in the disease of codependency but I have kept you all in my heart and prayers and checked and read some posts when I can. You all keep me going and give me hope.
