A Merry-Go-Round Named Denial
Permalink  

Thanks so much to those on this board who directed me to the Alanon pamphlet, "A Merry-Go-Round Named Denial." Although there were parts of it that rang so true to me that it was almost too painful to absorb, there was almost a sense of relief to know that others have experienced what our family has as my AH's disease has progressed. It is also comforting for me to know that I am on the right path, that I am not alone in this, and that I am making the right decisions/choices, as difficult as they might be.

Here is a link to the text in case you can't get the pamphlet at your Alanon meeting:

If you cant get a copy at your local meeting, there are a few more ways in which you can get a copy.  One is from the local alanon information center for your area, another is the Alanon Alateen WSO website:

Thank you. I agree, it is a relief to know that our problems are not unique, and that there is help!

That is one of the pamphlets we stick in our face to face meeting newcomer packets. It is one of the best in my opinion the program has to offer.  I am so glad this was posted as I never realized how many had never seen it before.   I think it sells for .75 in face to face meetings but we give all of our pamphlets away for free to those that want them.
