So, I went to my first f2f meeting in our new town last night. I was scared to death. I walked in to the building and it was packed. People were loud and just stared at me. I finally walked in to an office where I was greeted by two very nice women who asked if I was there for Al-Anon. Small group, only five of us. But what a difference from the meeting I had attended where we use to live. They made me feel as if I had been coming for months. Wonderful, wonderful women. I'm so glad I went. My task for the week.......remove the word "WHY" from my vocabulary. We laughed last night when I was made to realize how many times I use that word. I guess we've all used it a few times when struggling with an addict. So I've decided, for at least this week, it won't be "why is this...." it's going to be "how can I make MYSELF healthy?" Thank you to everyone here who listens and writes. I'm so very grateful I found this place.
Yeah! And good for you. I'm so gald you enjoyed your meeting!! The f2f I go to is small 3-5 people normally. Anyway, I'm just glad you were able to go and feel better and enjoy some time for you.
