When I came to Al-Anon I had no peace in my life. My faith was hidden from me. My love was a slowly dying ember hidden under the ashes of my life. What did I have left? I entered the chat room here that first day and told my story, how I was so miserable, on the verge of a divorce, didn't like who I was, etc. etc. The members kindly listened, then shared some of their stories. One member in particular, I so clearly remember, talked about the years she went through the disease with her husband and how today he is sober, how their marriage did survive, how Alanon helped her to get thru it. She gave me Hope. Today in an email I was sent this link. It made me think of this, how very true it is about Hope.
That is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time.....Thank you SO much.
My son rang me tonight. I was feeling so depressed and low. He told me " Mum,you are going to be a grandmother!!!" Ten minutes later,I read your post....and cried my eyes out. Hope.......
I haven't felt much of that in such a long time....
