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.
Aside from board talk, I struggled this weekend. I caught myself searching for drug paraphenalia yesterday, and had to quickly distract myself from obsessing about his recovery. I know better, but I just couldn't resist. Funny how ala-non has helped me see that this is MY addiction. So I guess I fell of the wagon, so to speak.
I'm not beating myself up about it though. It was a momentary relapse, but with the help of my alanon principles I was able to cirumvent 2-3 days of depression and obsession. So THAT I am thankful for.
ESH _ Experience, Strenght & Hope.... Since we learn not to give advice to one another but to share our own experiences, strength and hope.
Good for you for recognizing and for stopping yourself. Al-Anon is definitely a blessing and without it I too would be obsessing, stressing and going crazy....it is never a good thing.
