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.
I am trying new things in al-anon right now because I am not in a position at the moment to get to regular face to face meetings. I have a sponsor and some al-anon friends but I am missing the contact of having that readily available source of community. I have tried the phone bridge meetings which are wonderful and I will be continuing this. However, I can't always log on as some lines don't accept skype calls. Just wanted to say hello and hope this is another positive way to meet my needs of sharing with people in recovery.
Thanks

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? (Lewis Caroll)
I am currently feeling contentment and even happiness in this moment but am finding things very challenging generally. Not able to get to many meetings and feeling lots of anxiety and fears - I've heard it called 'playing the tapes of the past' over and over again in my head. Feeling like old patterns coming out in loneliness and sadness as my mum is currently very ill.
Looking forward to reading more on the forums and finding experience strength and hope.

Welcome! Great to have you here with us. Recognize the tapes are just your EGO/Diesase and pay no attention to them. When we identify, react or talk to our thoughts it gives them power.
