Hello everyone. I am a newbie to the chat forum. However, I am a very long time member of 12 step recovery operating as an Al-Anon/ACOA Both parents - I think, Mom for sure). I happened on this site because I was trying to find a quote from the AA BB and "stumbled" on to the ACOA chat. Since I am a "card carrying" member of Al-Anon, I don't give my ACOA recovery the attention it needs(deserves). Anyway, a friend is also working on his recovery using the ACOA as his focus and it's really having an impact on me. My recovery is going in a new direction. Not sure why I don't focus on this as it is my "issue". Perhaps complacancy can be my "excuse". Anyway, looking forward to some interesting insight for recovery.

Some thoughts:

"The signicant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them"
-Albert Einstein

"Being jugemental about your own behavior is actually a cop out because it makes you feel as though your doing something virtuous."
-Barbara Sher

Welcome to you Red!!!! We are glad your here.

Seems like there is so much more out there for Al-anon then ACOA .... Im guessing that is why more time is spent on it. I had to work through alot of the ACOA with theraphy and did not do 12 group meetings for that part of my recovery..... I do however use Al-anon.

I look forward to getting to know you, keep posting because Im sure your ES&H will shine though for others that come here.
