Hey guys this is all new to me. I did not know there was a group out there for me for help!!!! I have now gone to 4 meetings and have been blessed by each ones. The only thing that is missing is my literature is there anyone that knows of any place I can get books I dont care if they are used or not to help me when Im home?

 

THanks

Hi and welcome Usually literature can be obtained at the face to face meetings or at the Inter-group office in your community If not here is a web site that can provide it for you.

Welcome to MIP! So glad you are here.

I've gotten books local as well as Amazon and ebay!

Our local library has some even available for check-out if you want to try before you buy...

The literature is life-saving for sure and complements the meetings wonderfully.

Keep coming back!

Great Idea IAMhere Here are a few excellent titles of conference approved literature that you can look for.

The Courage to Change, One Day at a Time in Al-Anon, How Al-Anon Works, When I got Busy I Got Better, the Just For Today bookmark and Alcoholism The Family Disease.
These are all very helpful. Good luck

Oh Betty - so glad you stopped by and added titles....I thought about that 'after' I ventured away!

I have the first 3 and LOVE them all....I've got to explore the others in the near future - I think checked out the last one from the library!

Having the literature is so great - when I have a crisis moment, I can open a book and quickly find a bit of relief until my brain clears and my better thinking starts again.

(((Hugs to both)))!!

So glad that you are reaching out to AlAnon! I get up extra early every morning to make sure I have time to read the daily page from each of the first two that Betty mentioned, and also a 3rd daily reader: Hope for Today. It has become one of favorite times of the day...

This routine has been extremely valuable for my recovery and serenity. It has been an incredibly positive way to set my mind in a healthy direction as I face my daily challenges. Keep reading, and keep coming back!

I bought my 3 daily readers at my face to face meetings, but they sell them other places. I bought many others from amazon online also. Some I rented from the library and they had a great self help al-anon section in my town. Glad you are digging in, you are worth it! Sending you love and support!
