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 this printed out & put up in my condo all over the place, in the bathroom, on the ice box, the front door & next to my PC:
