Ms Understanding and any one else who cares to read my opinion!
Good for you.
Your first Al-Anon meeting..I hope you feel as much at home as I did, even through the only things I remember were the 3"S and holding on to the "Just for today bookmark" as if my life depended on it,,,,,( It did at that point ) For one whole week I read that bookmark over and over. Carried it with me every
where. I even got so I could read one more paragraph at a stop light...
The Al-Anon program is simple, If someone else's drinking is creating problems for me; I need help to deal with it,,,To me it doesn't help to try to firgue what kind of an A he is, nor if he is the "normal" A, the why's would drive me crazy...
when I got sick and tired of being sick and tired....
I decided to KEEP IT SIMPLE. I was the one who needed help and for the first time in my life I made the choice to help me...
Funny but when I began to use the tools, got a sponsor, work the Steps, ; our home life became more peaceful and I was happier.
Hope that gives you something to think about til you get to a meeting...
God bless.
