Honesty and reality


Had a great meeting today, subject was honesty and

then many shared it was Being honest about their

reality. No longer in denial And willing to look within

And be honest. 

 

That is the beauty of alanon you can see your honesty

when you are ready to do so. Many come wanting 

answers to their problems. It takes time and humbleness

To get there. 

 

I love the way my group is now so much healthyness

and trust. No one trying to push program or anything 

Else on them. They are learning by being open, honest and

listening to others. Doing their own work at their own

pace. Its such a good feeling, we are all at different

stages and have different issues yet many similarities. 

 

So much of alanon is putting into practice all that you 

learn. i Have a head full if information that needs to be

filtered down inside Of me. I am detaching still and that 

has opened up some closed doors to look within more.

 

I have been sleeping at night in the last month, no longer 

tossing and turning so much was being processed when my

mind was still. I was not fearful, God had me and it was The

detaching and facing truths and walking thru them.

 

It was much like i did when i was grieving, same process really

the detaching. None of it is easy lots of pain and hurt, there was

one way for me and that thru it. 

 

Thank you for letting me share

 

((((((( hugs )))))

(((Mirandac))) - great share....so thankful you are here with us. It's so funny that you speak of where your group is and your contentment with it currently. I missed mine 3 weeks ago as I was sick. When I returned, it was refreshing and we too seem to be at a really good place. We have a couple folks who were a bit over-bearing and they have moved on - and might come back and might not!

Love your growth and glad to hear you are sleeping at night. Keep coming back and keep sharing!!

I would like to say that I learned how to practice alanon principles at and in alanon meetings.

If I could detach, not interrupt or give advise, allow others to have opinions that differed from mine, while I kept the focus on myself, lower my expectations, and not get destroyed in the meetings, I knew I could carry those tools to the outside worldas well. It worked.
I found it was important to accept the fact that at meetings we are all works in progress and that the Steps keep us from suicide and the Traditions keep us from homicide. Any time a meeting becomes off center the Traditions and a group conscious are powerful tools that alanon, in it's wisdom, has established to bring it back to center.
Program works in all my affairs
