Great Thread!!

Awesome, bonbon.
Happy New Year to all from New Zealand, by the way - it's scorching hot and there's not a cloud in the sky today so I'm a happy camper.

My Nemo would be compassion. It's a art form, and a really difficult one but it's well worth pursuing for myself. I tend to be impatient with those who don't 'get themselves together' which is cruel and inappropriate.

I credit my alcoholic partner with teaching me the importance of compassion, because he was the one who first demonstrated to me the true nature of this devastating disease and he was the one that caused me to seek, and eventually find, Al-Anon. This fantastic support network along with messages on this board have taught me about the importance of compassion.
Thanks
