Let WHAT begin with me?????
Permalink  

Let judging, criticizing, trying to figure out, manipulating events, 'circling the wagons' with my fellow alanons in the face of my own selfish desires of what I want for my alcoholic?


Looking at other alcoholics who are not even a direct portion of my life and allowing them to rent space in my head and create chaos and mind-rot? Go to meetings, work the steps, yet keep asking "Why do they do it?"


Focusing on Alcoholism instead of myself and my life and my happiness?


Not today.


Let the good stuff, the pure stuff, the acceptance and the moving-on stuff begin with me.

Aloha Valhalla!


A little different take on the Al-Anon statement of purpose but it think I got it.  You can't give away what you haven't got.  So keep coming back, listen and learn, get a sponsor, work the steps get serene and, "Whenever anyone in need reaches out for help let the hand of Al-Anon always be there, AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME."


(((((hugs)))))
