Practice the PAUSE...Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you are about to react harshly and you will avoid doing and saying things you will later regret. ~~~~ Lori Deschene

Great topic Love that I now have the alanon tools to offset my negative voices

Lyne · ~*Service Worker*~

My damage from childhood has taken a lifetime to overcome, especially from an abusive brother. Marrying two alcoholic spouses, just reinforced those messages, which amounted to having zero self-esteem. Over the years I have made progress, but it is Alanon that has moved me into the certainty that I deserve love and respect, and that I can even offer it to myself. Grateful member, Lyne
