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 have been doing a lot of posting the last few weeks, sharing and answering. Something Is encouraging me to do It. It seems a good idea at the time,(lol), I am getting some satisfaction from this, as well as getting rid of things from Inside my head, and giving me some piece of mind, It feels good. And It Is BRILLIANT when roomies reply to your post.
That Is just awesome, (lol). It makes me feel, I am really NOT alone, and I have loving friends In here who are willing to take the time, In helping me with my dilema's ( hey, I got loads), lol.
I spoke to some roomies this week about posting and I discovered, a lot of them WONT because they feel, a wee bit self conscious, etc. Well I was amazed, these people are so cool in chat, and share all the time and give good opinions, but cannot feel comfortable about writing on a board.
Ally used to be like that, (lol yes she was), It is only me and a screen, and my experience's of growing up in an A family, thoughts and feelings, from my heart. And If my thoughts, and opinions can help someone with a dilema then I'm working my programme.
What a great post. I do hope some of your buddies will take your advise. No person's problem is any more or less important than anyone elses, and nobody critiques here.
I know that I find, in response to answering others posts, that I can figure out how to apply the program better when I think through someone else's share. It is not that their situation is any less chaotic than mine, it's just that "I" am not in the throws of that particular chaos. I can be more objective and think about it more rationally.
Slowly, I am applying it back into my own situation, and it really works if you work it. For me this is part of me working it.
Thanks for being here and sharing!
Take care of you!

You are so right about this. I have been replying to post but haven't posted myself. Guess I needed a loving boot in the bottom to get some courage to do that. I have been feeling like who wants to listen to my problems. Mine aren't as important as others are. Don't want to impose on others. Who knows maybe these feelings will change now. I'll give a try. Thanks for the encouragement.
When I first came to MIP I posted rather than going into the chat room. This was the first place I felt love and support. It took me almost 3 months before I went into the chat room (had to figure out how I guess!). Glad you're doing this.
Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
