I did it!  I went to my first f2f tonight.  I was a bit nervous, but oh my gosh - the love and acceptance was awesome!  It made me feel like I wasn't nearly as crazy as I thought I was.  And it's given me the hope that I can make it through the next weekend.  I might feel differently Thursday or Friday, but for now it's a wonderful feeling.


I've started the book GETTING THEM SOBER - so far, so good.  I'm just worried that it's going to make me overly optimistic.  The claim that if I follow the book, my A will have an 80% greater chance of seeking help... Well, I'm skeptical.


I'll go back next week if possible - wish me luck!

Yea mimi. I just went to my f2f meeting tonight. Even hearing everyone's pain, I learn so much. Keep going back, it works if you work it.


In support,


Nancy

It's a face-to-face Al-Anon meeting rather than an online message board or chat room.

Hey frog, great chatting with you this morning.  I don't know what I'll do when school starts - can't log on any old time, that's for sure.
