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 was just reaading some posts and the one about gratitude hit home with me. I wanted to take the time to let you all know that I will be forever grateful for all of you and the Al-anon program for giving me back my life and my sanity. Ok, so occasionally I still feel pretty insane, but the precious gift that this program has given me is the knowledge that This too shall pass, and that today I have a choice. I can remain in the insanity of my own thoughts or I can reach out to people in the program, use the tools, slogans and literature to show me a way out. I did not know that 6 months ago, I thought I was doomed. So, No life is not perfect, there will be ups and downs, mountains and valleys but thanks to all of you and this program, I can see that today, the ups and the mountains. Without Al-anon, I would only see the downs and the valleys.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! For you patience, support, encouragement, voices of reason, experiences... the list goes on and on....
And thank you to my Higher Power for putting all of you in my life, just when I needed it the most.
So glad that you are here with us and that I've had the pleasure to meet you. You are a remarkable woman. The way you work your program and your commitment to your family is an inspiration to me. See you at the convention.

It has been so nice knowing you and we do learn from each other here. I guess what it comes down to is we have to handle the cards that we are dealt in life and with the alanon tools it sure helps alot. I wish my daughter were not an alcoholic but she is. I have so much to be grateful for too and I am grateful I read your post just now :) cdb xoxoxoxo
