The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Tomorrow marks one month since I started here. I'm counting that as my recovery anniversary. May 24th, 2015. Boy, that's not very long. Kinda scary that I've only been at this one month. Kinda puts things in perspective. (too much [sic] perspective). Deep Breath. Back to work. (God grant me the serenity to accept the things I...)
Do you get the job? Do you feel better? I remember feeling better by leaps and bounds! Even one half a step forward from where I was is better than where I was!

2 years for me. I found al-anon in June 2013. It's flabbergasting to read what I used to write, the stuff I used to care about. I'm not perfect but I sure have have progressed!
I think you are doing an amazing job, AMT. You're so open to change and so willing to look inside. It's excellent. You rock at al-anon.

YES!! 30Days!! I RULE!! 30 days of less pain, less confrontation, less negative self talk, less anger, less resentment, more serenity, more smiles, more laughter, more comfort, more learning, more joy, and hope for today! I'd like to thank the academy, and everyone who brought me here today. My parents for their lack of support, and of course my qualifier. I couldn't have done it without her! Seriously though, it's amazing that I can joke about that. They are already losing their power over my life. It's a great thing.
THANKS (((((EVERYBODY)))))!!!
And I must note, that based on hotrod's new picture, in my 30 days she's gotten 10 years younger. She's the Benjamin Button of MIP.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. - Lao Tzu
And then I have to say, You Make 30 Days LOOK GOOD :) I was still a Bit of a Train Wreck after just 30 days, and you are Just Moving thru like no bodies business, and you are Making leaps and bounds and it shows...
So Congrats and YES CELEBRATE Every Moment you take the time to Take Care of you :)
Thanks for Sharing the Journey, You Help Others just as Much as You Heal You...
Been reflecting off and on all day about how much better I feel after only 30 days. You are all inspirational, kind, selfless and giving people. Please take a moment, sit back, smile and reflect on the great work you are all doing for me and for each other. You are all making a positive impact in the world, and not everyone can say that. It's meaningful and important and fosters hope. It helps people breathe more easily, laugh a little more, worry a little less, and act a little more kind towards each other and you all know that those things are contagious. Congratulate yourselves. Add a line to your asset lists. Be proud, confident and self-assured that you are a force for peace, a voice for humanity and signposts on the path to serenity. If you seek to be kind - you have been kind to me. If you yearn to teach - you have taught me. Al-Anon is about me. I get a chip today. But for me, today has been about YOU. Please make your day about you - for me.
