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.
It certainly has been an amazing year of growth for you! And it has been an inspiration to me as well to watch you change so much in such a short time.
Al-anon certainly is a wonder gift to us all. Keep up the good work....and keep coming back!
I am so glad that you liked the face to face meeting. There are some meetings out there that are fun to go to and exctiing. As an outside I can see the growth you made. As a friend I have found your comfort. I have watch you afraid to talk on your phone. When I called I would have to leave a message, but mostly I could only text message you in hope your husband would not hear the phone go off. When I first meet you on line you told me you walk to work even when it was cold. I was shocked. Then as we talked you got your self a great big awsome truck. Not a small car no you made a statement. Then if that progress wasn't good enough. You wrote to me and told me that you are going to be staying at a hotel. After awhile an some growth you decided it was time to stand on your own two feet and get your own apt. However you didn't go an get a cheap apt. No you got a great safe apt which has security which is great. Ok you have now hook up again with your family and you have now travel all over the world. MEGAN YOU ARE A STRONG PERSON AND A AWSOME FRIEND. KEEP UP THE PROGRESS

Hey everyone watch me grow. I go thru good & bad times. each day i am getting stronger.
I haven't come as far as most who post here it seems, but I do look back at the past year and see growth. I left my alcoholic in January and moved away from my "untreated al-anon" mother in June. I found Al-Anon in July and go to about 3-4 meetings per week. As I posted before, I got a sponsor a few weeks ago and it is not working out. I haven't spoken to her for a week. I'm being very wimpy about it. She even called me yesterday after no contact for a week, but I never called her back. Old habits die hard I guess. I know I will feel so much better if I would just call her and tell it isn't working but again, I'm a wimp. What am I scared of? No clue!
I have enjoyed watching you progress. Just seeing you enjoy your life to the fullest is amazing. When you share your story, I sometimes have a hard time associating that story with you after meeting you.
You truly love life in all it's little aspects. You have reconnect with a family who truly loves you and sees the light in your eyes. And Man, that red truck is like your baby which you cherish and enjoy. It's been a pleasure having a small part in your recovery.
You truly are inspiring.
love,
Maria

I remember when I first found this site and you were so there for me. And such an inspiration then and now. I hear your calmness and gentleness and I look forward to going as far as you have in this wonderful healing program.
Thanks to you for being here for me! This goes both ways and your post just gave me inspiration! I don't know where I would be without you and the others here. Even though I am in a tough place, I know I am still growing and right where HP wants me to be,,,,,even though ti is 5:30am. I just know some day we can meet and go to an alanon meeting together too. I feel it in my soul. Maybe by then I will be healthier and thinner and still married but happily so :) Miracles do Happen. cdb :)
