The daily readings were from the books "Courage to Change" and "One Day at A Time" available in bookstores all over, presumably sanctioned by Al Anon. And of course at meetings.
And regarding posting full readings of Melody Beattie on a daily basis we could find ourselves in the same predicament. Her work is copyrighted as well. Again the book is available at bookstores and libraries.
Coming from a strong Al Anon background I am as disappointed as anyone but this falls under one of the things I cannot control...a legal thing only. The principles of how to live your life with integrity are not copyrighted by anyone and they can be found in many ways...not only AA or Al Anon. These programs are situation specific and the fellowship is very valuable. But they are still only one of many ways to reach a valuable goal.
