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 could not agree with you any more! I was talking with my cousin last evening, and she is ACOA - without program. She was absolutely an emotional wreck because of some life issues that seemed to all happen at one time.
We talked for almost an hour and I had an opportunity to share much about the program, the steps, living life on life's terms, acceptance, etc. and she was in a different state at the end of the call - she's going to go to a F2F meeting with me this week.
This program gives us so many gifts and such a different way to live. I am so eternally grateful for the steps, the fellowship and the gift of knowing there is a better way to live and I am not alone!
Thanks so much for the great share and (((hugs))) to you.
Make it a great Monday!!

Alcoholism is a dreadful disease and I too am happy to have found alanon when i hit my emotional bottom.
I must admit, before that, I was not prepared to truly face my part in the situation or own my issues so that the program felt too difficult and I looked for a softer way.
Today after many years I am a truly grateful member of this fellowship
