I remember how alone and afraid I was right before I found Al Anon. I was living a lie... we weren't the perfect happy couple and family that we portrayed outside the 4 walls of our home. I honestly believed that no one could ever understand what I was going through, and I thought I would have to endure that darkness forever.
Today I am so incredibly grateful for the gifts of the program. On my darkest and loneliest day, I was welcomed with loving and gentle arms into an amazing fellowship. No one judges or critcizes me, they simply share their experience, strength and hope. I can listen and learn, I can take what I like and leave the rest. I have found my voice, I have learned about boundaries. I have learned a new and better way to deal with the people, places and things in my life.
And that's just a teensie tiny start to my list of miracles in my life. I am eternally grateful for this program.
