Well my alanon tools were put to the test last night!
He was drinking...tried everything he could to pick a fight with me.
I recognized his actions and I bit my tonge and I put up my alanon shield and I didn't react......
I stayed calm.....I told myself it wasn't about me....it's about him...he's just throwing a hissy fit.
I feel alot better now, I have found a faith that I have never known in my life....and I so much want to discover more of that and keep moving in that direction.
thanks to my friends here on this site.....it has been amazingly supportive for me.....
thanks guy's
Moved another stone.....

Sally

Thank you very much for you're support,
Yes, I too notice a difference in myself,....alanon really has helped me or shall I say helping me...
I have lifted myself out of my depression, and the fear seems to be deminishing.........with THE FAITH.....
It's all about faith...
hope....
self-forgiveness...
letting go....of the past
moving forward...
My self messages have changed to myself....
when I start to feel down.....about myself...I now say to myself (I cannot change the past) If I could.....I certainly would...
I have realized that......I need to help me.....first...
I Need help....
In order to be of any use to my children and my family...
other people are intitled to their opinions....I cannot change that, I am learning to trust myself....draw my own conclusions, take FULL responsibility For myself,. My life, My choices.
so yes....It's like I had it all in my mind before...it just never came together for me until now.
I read a post once that said something along the lines (I started working the steps...and than the steps started working me.....)

The steps are working me....
and Iam starting to like me again

thanks Bud's
regards Sally
