The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method

information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Folks.... the good of this site FAR outweighs any of the bad. For all of our sakes, can we please get the focus back onto recovery, supporting each other, and loving and caring for one another. Choosing sides in personal fights do us NO good, and they take away from the primary aim and goal of this very site.
Thanks in advance.
Tom (aka Canadianguy)

Thanks Tom. I also want that but didn't really know how to say it.
As I look at the bottom of the page and see (21) guest on at this time I am really worried that this kind of conduct will not feel like a safe place for them.
Well I missed whatever that was all about ...but...people on here are hurting and none of us are perfect. At times we all make a mistake or say something we wish we would not have. I agree that we all need to remain focused on the support and recovery this site offers.
Well, I missed it as well! But we are all here to support each other and we are all at different stages in our recovery. Sometimes we all say things we really wished we hadn't. Let's move on.
We need each other Praying for us all together, AM
I missed it to. But this is good point. We are all here for the same reason.............. recovery! I can hear the pain in some members typed word. We are here for each other, let's not forget that we may have once been where the other person is. It is a personal journey. We are all in different phases of recovery. We all slip, we are only human! Let's keep up the good work!
I wonder whether part of it is the difficulties inherent in implementing the traditions on-line - specifically, I've been wondering for some time, and not just at this site, how it might be possible to address the difficulty in rotating service positions, and even dividing them up in the first place.
The difficulties are real, but let's not give them the power to make a temporary slip - and we all make them from time to time - permanent, because as Tom said so well, the benefits - to us ALL - are real as well.
