This evening my ex-fiance visited to discuss step 9:


Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.


What a true blessing AA has been for him - he fought AA for so long and continued to fail at other attempts at sobriety.  He looks fantastic, better than I have seen him look since the day we met.  We had a wonderful discussion and I think that we both took away a great sense of peace and have found some much needed closure in our relationship. 


I pray that he maintains the strength to continue on this path and to be healthy and happy again.

 I'm glad to hear that you're benefitting from the mericles of AA. I hope you continue to do so.


 I hope the amend was heartfelt and honest. That is such an important part of AA. And the amends.


 I'm so glad to hear this.

Chat room is open 24/7 there here the link to www.mipchat.net or http://www.12stepforums.net/chatroom2.html 


Here are some things that have helped me since in the program.



  • Go face to face meeting & online meeting.

  • post on the board here on the site. I have gotten a lot of good feed back.

·        In this program u learn that u have choices. In Alanon we don’t give advice but only suggestions.


·        Set support system.  people do not judge. You need someone who can go for coffee on a bad day, or pick up a phone and call when in trouble. The support is what is important when you first this program.



  • Have a sponsor. Someone work one on one with you.

You don’t have to do this the minute u come to the program but I suggest that u do it when u can. It help.

(((((((((SallyB))))),


Good for him, and good for you.  I like attending AA meetings with hubby.  It's helped me understand more of what he's gone through.  It makes me appreciate how hard his recovery is.  But I also make sure I keep my program going.  Because the dynamics of living with an active A vs. sober A changes. I hold onto my program more than ever.  I hope you are doing the same.


Remember: You recovery has to be about you and for you, regardless if the A is active or sober.


Live strong,


Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
