I can really relate to missing Alanon meetings due to the chaos and drama of my alcoholic daughter. A number of times, I missed meetings because I mistakenly thought that my spending time with her would prevent her from drinking for that night, at least.
What I learned is that I must put my Alanon meetings as a major priority.
Gettingby-
I really like the cop story - what a great reminder for us to keep ourselves in the moment.
Prayers and blessings
