I agree, my experience with my AS has definitely brought me closer to my HP.
For me personally, I also needed to be humbled. I foolishly thought that since I always wanted to be a parent I'd be so good at it that my children would be free from experiencing anything like the sickness of addiction. So, I guess maybe I also learned that as someone in a meeting last night said, "there is a God and I'm not it." I didn't realize how dilusional I've been all of my life about what I control and what I don't. So I guess I'm also saying I learned what co-depencency is and that I definitely have it and need to work on my own recovery.
All of the Al Anon principals, slogans, etc. have helped me tremendously at work. I think its been easier to begin applying them in the less personal relationships in my life. I had a tough situation with a co-worker and since I've changed my attitude, that situation has become much easier.
Thanks for posting this thread and giving me the opportunity to share that
