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.
Everytime I attend an on-line meeting, I get another quote or saying to add to my list that I kkep reprinting & sticking on walls in my condo. I also keep a copy folded up in my prayer book. So far this is what my inspirational page has on it: (& due to the anonymity of our great Program, I am not giving any credit to where these quotes have come from).
Let Go & Let God Attend to the Divine Plan.
"Let his name be erased" (from the Jewish faith, regarding acts of evil or evil doers themselves)
VI Guidelines for Setting Boundaries
1. Have clearly defined expectations. 2. Have clearly defined consequences that do not disrupt your own serentiy. 3. Set them clearly. 4. Communicate them clearly. 5. Enforce them with consistency. 6. Without regard for the relationship, releasing any expectations.
Say what you mean & don't say it meanly.
QTIP - Quit Taking it Persoanlly
GTS - Getting them Sober (club)
First Things First - Love Yourself First
Easy Does It
One Day at a Time
Live & Let Live
But for the Grace of God, go I
THE THREE C's - I didn't cause it, I cannot control it, I cannot cure it... conversely I can change myself, I can control myself & I can cure myself.
Let the understanding, peace & love of the Program work in you each day. Take what you like & leave the rest.
You cannot expect different results without different actions/behaviours.
Do not listen to the praise or criticism of other's as both will throw you off of your course.
You know your own body (& mind) better than anyone else does, trust yourself.

Hurt people, hurt people.
I refuse to be co-dependent anymore, the abuse stops here I will continue to work on breaking the ACOA patterns that I grew up with.
