Anniversary Meeting @ Legacy AA Group
Permalink  

Sunday, 4/30 at 1:00 pm I will be sharing my story of recovery at the Legacy AA Group Anniversary Meeting, in Pasadena TX (near Houston). 

My dear MIP family, please keep me in your thoughts & prayers that I will as always share the message of HOPE that can be found in Al-Anon regardless of the situation with our loved ones who suffer from alcoholism/addiction.

I have tried to spend this past few weeks in prayer and meditation seeking the message that my HP would like for me to share.  As always, there have been a few painful distractions, of course, a few reminders of ways that I need to improve my focus on my own recovery.  I wonder why it is so easy for me to slip back into old behaviors, as I have said before to let those boudaries be eroded away like the Louisiana coastline. 

I see that I will probably always be working on boundary setting skills.  In some areas, it is so easy to be jaded, firm, and decisive, but then in others a wet noodle has a strong force than me. 

So, as I pack for the weekend, prepare for the trip - I leave the chaos & drama behind - detach with love, turn the matter over to my HP and attempt to focus on the wonderful recovery filled weekend.  It is what it is - what will happen will happen regardless - The main thing in doing my self care is to follow thru with my committment to service work - It always gives my recovery a big booster shot to do service work.  Probably why my HP already had this planned this way.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts & prayers - I'm so grateful to know that all I have to do is ask and ya'll are there.  It is very comforting. 

Peace to you & may we all continue to live Happy, Joyous & Free,
Rita

You will be WONDERFUL.  You have always been a light of hope here, and I a so glad you will share some of what we enjoy with that special group.

If my son didn't have 5 basketball games this weekend I would go.  It's only about a 2 hour drive.

As always you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I know you will touch to so many in attendance.

Take care of you!

Sending prayers to you for your personal best to shine and that your message touches someone's life that needs it.  Its all about sharing what we've learned.  Your ESH has helped me several times, and I know HP has someone out there waiting to hear your message.  Travel mercies to you too.  Enjoy the time away with your Al-Anon friends.

Peace and Hugs,
Twinmom~
