Although it is not a CAL approved literature, for you to share this poem in a personal share of yours would be permitted under the World Service Manual pg 85 under the title of Outside Publications:  Other Literature at Meetings:  There are many outside publications on alcoholism, religion, and philosophy that appeal to members as individuals.  Brief excerpts from such material may be part of their personal sharing at meetings.  In a spirit of unity, it is suggested tht only Al-Anon and Alateen Conference Approved Literature be used and displayed at meetings.

Thanks so much for sharing with us and I really pray that through this struggle you will find peace and remember:  be gentle with yourself!

Hugs

Cilla
