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.
Ok so to keep custody of my children I must Attend Al Anon but with a crazy new work schedule and 3 kids at home its soooo hard... I really want to take part in a actual group but for now lunch online classes is what I can do.
Im reading all topics on here and I can relate in many. My question is when do you know the group meetings have actually made you a better person in life in dealing with conflicts?
This Program We Learn to Take Care of Ourselves, and Deal with the Effects of Alcoholism in Our Lives, by Working the 12 Steps, and Learning One day at A Time How to Break the Cycle of Insanity that Follows Many of us... Read Posts Here, Pick up some Al-Anon Books, Share your Story, all these things will begin the Healing Process... If your Willing to Stick to it...
I haven't Found a Quick Fix to my Recovery, but I Can tell you the Posts I Shared when I First Got here, to the Post I Share Now, I Can Very Easily Go Back and See the Change in Me...
I Hope you Will Join us ... I would Say Find a Face to Face Meeting in your Area, they are Normally Only an Hour Long, and In Many Towns Around the World, A lot of Recovery Starts with the First Step... Glad your Here...
Welcome Rubi, I see you posted to the" Promises of Alanon Sticky" at the top of the Message Board. I assure you that you will achieve all the "gifts", if you keep coming back and practicing the program.
Welcome, glad you have found us. Some meetings have childcare - you might call your local Al-Anon number and ask for meetings in your area which do - that might make things easier. It also helps to read through the threads, get the Al-Anon literature, etc. You are on your way!
Aloha RubiR as you start thinking in a different manner, not falling for any invitation to get sick or crazy, speaking in a calm sane voice and many many more differences which we call and consider miracles. The people monitoring you will also know you are changing and often express surprise. You will love the new you as will your children. Take it one day at a time...time is so important. ((((hugs))))
Welcome to MIP RubiR - glad you found us and glad you decided to share. Stay in the present and before you know it you will be changing. It is hard to describe and hard to realize until 'after' you react differently to a situation that used to raise your cackles and send you into orbit!!!
Keep coming back and so glad you are here!!
