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 haven't seen or read this pamphlet for a long time. My wife had it in her literature for a while and handed it to me this evening as I was reading Al-Anon literature.
The title is THREE VIEWS OF AL-ANON...Alcoholics Speak to the Family. It was composed for Al-Anon by AA and is very telling. I believe if you haven't got it or read it that you find it and do. World Service P-15.
Thank you brother Jerry for the recommendation...I will see if I can track it down sometime in the near future! (((Hugs)))

When I have read books about the history of AA and Al.anon I have been touched by the effort the founders made in wroting the literature. They ceetainly went through a lot of drafts
I have to remember this was all written before the notion of trauma never mind trauma bondinh.
I have more patience and aporeciation around the literature now. I also have gratitude because i have gained so much from.al anon
