On it's promise to support, care and stand with me. I am assured that I continue to be abided by even as and when life seems foggy and shaky and question conditions and outcomes. I am in the atmosphere of acceptance and unconditional love where I have learned and experienced is the best of all places to be. I only have one white flag to wave and for now am keeping it in my back pocket. Living the Serenity Prayer. ((((hugs))))

I am coming out of a very upsetting 9 days with my A, and yet the entire time I have prayed and know HP is with me each and everyday. And my alanon family gives me comfort and support as well. The fog is beginning to lift and I am a very grateful member, Lyne

Kudos to you Jerry, for your undying faith and belief system. It is something I admire in you (and others), and one element of my own recovery program that could certainly stand an increased effort & focus....

Great share brother. I hear you and can relate....recovery has given me a power greater than myself who truly does do for me that which no human power could. I have been pleasantly surprised that even if moments of turmoil, chaos, etc. I have not felt alone and/or full of fear. Instead, I am led to a tool/solution to get through it to the other side.
Those promises are real and we are worthy!
