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.
As mentioned in a previous post, an alanon friend and I are working on some ditto sheets given to me by Betty. One of the acronyms (sorry dont have the sheet here) was about recovering occurs when we delve into the pain and try to understand what happened. In that way we can gain understanding, move forward, and let it go. I thought of this saying:
There is something so very powerful and poignant in short acronyms or sayings, I can repeat them to myself, much like the Serenity prayer, when I feeling in need to some help, guidance or support.
A couple of key ones that we all know, the 3 A's and the 3 C's (I like to add another couple of 'C's': Chaos and Clutter. Both these describe the family home environment AND my head/mental state).
