I did quit working a program for a time and I am one of the ones who crawled back.
Al Anon gave me a life that I could be proud of and unless I make the decision to always be vigilant and work it every day I will fall back to my old ways of thinking. My thinking is what got me in trouble (not the alcoholic) and I continue to need a place to hold it up to others.
Whenever and for whatever reason I am feeling anxious, depressed or full of resentment I need a place to unravel it so I return to living in the promises. I have been in grace. I have felt peace. That is just to valuable to risk.
And watching some of you "get it"...I love that part!
Hugs,
JT
