Before alanon, I was so affected by this disease that had you asked me what would make me happy, I would have told you what I thought you wanted to hear. In reality, I didn't know what I wanted or what would make me happy.

After years in alanon, I have learned what makes me happy and what makes me unhappy.

My happiness is now from the simple things. Holding my son in my lap. Playing music. A really good cup of coffee. Taking a walk. I used to think that happiness had to cost a lot of money. It doesn't.

I now have a very low tolerance for things that I don't like. This mainly has to do with liars and people who are affected by this disease who refuse to at least try to get better. I avoid other people's choas.

Great topic. Thanks!
