Discussion group turned out to be a winner
Permalink  

last nights face to face was a wonderful thing to behold and feel. The meeting took off as a discussion rather than step 7 and everyone just knew it was right to let it be.

the two latest members said more last night than they have said so far in a meeting and we are getting to know them as a group with real unity.

i always had the idea that the format should not be broken but I'm learning from a few naturals at allowing the meeting to sometimes " go with the flow" it was a real blessing and worth every minute of time given.

im loving my meetings and my higher power and new likeminded friends who have given me such a boost for life without worry I'm not taking it all back now....never.

Quakeroat Meetings are always quite rewarding -- I am glad this one worked out that way as well.

I used to hate when things would take a different direction then I had expected and would raise a fuss. Al-anon has taught me to flow and now I can learn and grow and really hear people in those moments. I now believe things went just as they were meant to and I learned exactly what I needed to. Great awareness!

I love when meetings go different than planned.....I always view those as HP-Led meetings....we all get exactly what we needed in spite of the best laid plans of humans. I have come to realize that I enjoy meetings that are left of center as I have to listen more instead of thinking about my share.

So glad your's went better than planned! I view these as one of the gifts/miracles of the program!
