I have been in Al Anon since 1995. As I have grown in my recovery, I find more and more opportunities to practice what i have learned. I have a new set of tools that help me to live life on life's terms -at work, at home, in the grocery store, just about everywhere I go.
Maybe icontinued, active recovery is not for everyone, but going to meetings, reading the literature and participating in the SR forums has allowed me to keep the focus on ME. In the past, when I quit going to meetings and quit doing any reading, I found that my outlook on life got a bit off kilter... I started taking ownership of other people's actions and feelings that did NOT belong to me. I found my life slipping back into that "unmanageable" place, and when I started back to meetings and reading, things got back into balance.
Thanks for the topic. As for me? I 'll keep working my recovery, because it works for me.
