A Love Story...


 

~sigh~  I made this couple my mum and dad... I believed in them.

Lois was most likely the better behaved. Bill had feet of clay... not angel's wings... but he rose from this... biggrin ...

I visited their home once- in up-state New York... and had this tremendous sense of family. That I had sisters and brother all over the world.

This story still reverberates around the world...

                               I bought a copy of this movie- in the Wilson's garage- and bought it home to NZ...

I watched this trailer- and it bought tears to my eyes- tears of joy and relief...

...now i want to turn the story of my recovery into something worth mentioning- in every meeting I go to- from now on...  smile ...

Love, love, love the movie! I too am grateful to be a part of my adopted family....I am also glad that I am accepted, as I am, perfectly imperfect!

And sisters, Iam and Betty...

                                              some people around now- I might call daughters, and sons, in the rooms... biggrin.

I watched that clip again this morning- and again it bought tears to my eyes... ...I watch a family, as some of us do, from 2000 years ago... and their life and work. Lois and Bill had no kids of their own... and in a sense we all became their family- for fruit of their love and marriage.

I have learned a lot about the disease, over the years. Through the generations. Ing my home town I wrote a local history- and was able to see others families too. The flip-flops between drinking and religion, from one generation to the next.

So, here in the rooms, we build our own belief systems, and our own strength in each other- as our groups build, slowly.

Like us too- some groups fall apart... ... we have the big news here- under the trapeze is a big bouncy net... we have our business board... and the MIP family board too. Very rarely used- part from the Tradition 7 giving... but there, none-the-less...
