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.
The C2C reading for July 3rd is a reminder of the importance of alanon meetings. It points out that HP works through each alanon group and( I believe here at MIP) and that each person gets what he needs from the meetings.
It goes on the explains that we do not know what is best for others so that it is best to remember that newcomers and everyone else are in the hands of a Power greatest than ourselves. All that is necessary is that we share from our truth and from the heart .
The quote is from Living with Sobriety: "When I stopped dwelling on how things would probably work out, I was better able to pay attention to what I was doing."
I do believe that it is important to share ESH at meetings and then to sit back and listen to learn. HP does work in mysterious ways .
I do love the quote. How much simpler my life became when I stopped living in the future and made a decision to live in right now.
Hope the beach is glorious

Betty - the beach sounds marvelous! Enjoy the day at the beach.
Today's reading is awesome for where I am today. It reminds me how powerless I truly am and how OK I am/will be when I can keep the focus on me in the present.
(((Hugs))) to all. And - thank you Betty for your service!
