Hi-I just wanted to share a short example of how alanon is in my head in the most wonderful and desirable way. I got into a discussion with my A last evening about her drinking last weekend when she was so nasty. It started out OK but quickly got detoured. She was herself-lying, denial, and I was BRIEFLY my old self getting disappointed and agitated. I started having a conversation with myself about how to end this talk now, I can't get what I want or need, she is she and I am ME! I re-directed myself because happily everything I'm learning in alanon was there in my brain speaking to me! It was so great!! I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday, Lyne
Way to go Lyne! Way to go.....lovely tools we have - even better when they work for us!!
