Good for you rainiee!!! You're getting it so well and so early.
Just remember these Al-Anon slogans for your meeting and recovery program:
EASY DOES IT - you don't have a quiz or exam tonight, and this program takes time!
LISTEN AND LEARN - there's a reason we have two ears and one mouth!
KEEP AN OPEN MIND - the things that taught me the most were those that were the hardest to swallow at first, and "life-changing help can take any avenue, any form, and any voice [including newcomers]." How Al-Anon Works, page 73 [& 108 as to newcomers](2008).
Also check out the readings in
Courage to Change, pages 71 & 292.
Attend at least six meetings and try different groups.
Peace.
