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 notice as time goes on and I live and work my program, nothing is a big deal anymore. Everything is in perspective and manageable. Just going along, living by the Steps, literature etc. Everything falls into place. Yes, even with an active AH in our home.
It feels like a miracle. All my anxiety is lifted away. I can quietly go about my life.
Where there was insanity and stress, is now peace.
I am taking care of my side of the street and leaving AH to his.
Great share Calm Lady....I understand what you mean. I never truly thought I could co-exist with an active A and then I found Al-Anon. I believe with the support of the program, tools, steps and my sponsor, I could endure just about anything. There are truly no big deals in my life any longer and I am so grateful.
It works when we work it!!
