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.
Al-Anon has designated today, March 4th as "Leave Hope" Day 2006. Honoring program co-founder Lois W.'s birthday, members are encouraged to "accidentally" leave behind a piece of Al-Anon literature in a public place tomorrow, hopefully to be found by someone in need. Restaurants, gas stations, public bulletin boards, bus stops, restrooms, waiting rooms, libraries, grocery stores-- use your imagination and leave some hope behind!
If you have any old Forum magazines, or conference approved pamphlets, booklets or books that are extra or that you are no longer using, consider this as an option. It is a great way to participate in the worldwide fellowship of Al-Anon, and to reach out anonymously to someone in your community who may be desperately searching for a sign that they are not living all alone with the effects of the disease of alcoholism.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others...
Thank you for this information. I guess for me with all that has happened in my life the past 30 some hours, all I can do is reply to some posts here and share my experience and some hope. With my chronic health problems, I do what I can which is usually praying and/or sending positive energy and thoughts and replying to posts when it is possible for me. I also take my replies seriously and they do come from the bottom of my heart. your friend in recovery, cdb ((((((((Emmie)))))) even at 4am! :)
