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.
I lengthen my daily walks and slowly repeat our Serenity Prayer in rhythm to my steps and breathing.
If I feel that my pain has in part been occasioned by others, I try to repeat, God grant me the serenity to love their best, and never fear their worst.
This benign healing process of repetition, sometimes necessary to persist with for days, has seldom failed to restore me to at least a workable emotional balance and perspective.

Thanks IAH It is important to note that the reading points out this is not a magical solution- We need to be consistent in practicing the program and using the tools.
Love the principle that suggests that we can "love their best and never fear their worst."
