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.
Just for today, I am with you 100%. My hope is to repeat this each morning and carry forward living in the moment - so much calmer and peaceful than the alternative!
Have a lovely day Debb and thanks for your service and ESH!

Hi Debbie, Thanks to alanon I now understand that my old unrealistic, negative tools of pretending to be happy by denying reality and my magical thinking did not work.
Alanon gave me constructive tools so as I would be able to be truly happy.
By stopping my judging, blaming, and gossiping, staying in the moment, focusing on the positive and treating everyone with courtesy and respect, serenity replaced anxiety and joy, and happiness followed.
That you for this! Yesterday was a tough day for some reason I can't really explain, and today, I am committed to leave yesterday behind and focus on the positives of today.

Thank you Deb! Yes, today we have choices we never knew we had. We can choose to be happy, regardless of what going on around us. We accept powerlessness today. We are living in the world of The Spirit today. We have a Higher Power that has restored us to sanity and has our back.
