Practice the PAUSE...Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you are about to react harshly and you will avoid doing and saying things you will later regret. ~~~~ Lori Deschene

Inspired to seek out al anon

ieei · Newbie

Is this only for family members of alcohol-drinking alcoholics or also other types?

Lee, as I explained in a PM that your other posts were not alanon related and were deleted. It had nothing to do with the mentioning of holy books. Alanon and this Board are for friends and family of alcoholics (drinking or not).

i see that you post to the ACOA board and as well as the NA board and i do hope you find a fit

We are a group seeking spiritual growth and recovery using suggested Al-Anon tools. We tend to refrain from reference to other religions and their writings simply because we get to seek out a personal HP in recovery.

I did not respond to your previous posts as I was struggling with how to respond. I kind of don't know what to say here either as it's a link that is unknown, perhaps maybe unsafe and references a specific writing to a specific belief.

We do share ESH - Experience, Strength & Hope with each other to heal and deal from the effects of Alcoholism. Hoping this helps!

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.
