December 9 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON
December 9 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:
It is heartening to know that Al-Anon members can be a worldwide inspiration to each other; thoughts and prayers fly across space to sustain and strengthen us all. These wise words come from the Al-Anon groups of France:
We have all had the feeling of being chained to a heavy weight that we were trying to drag this way and that, while all the time it was dragging us until we completely lost our bearings.
Now, there is another chain for us; the one that unites us in Al-Anon. Each of us is a link, neither more nor less important than all the rest. It is a chain to which we can attach ourselves whenever we need it.
TODAY’S REMINDER
What a relief to be able to detach ourselves from the chain that bound us to the weight of alcoholism – to know we need not be helplessly controlled by it. We are freed by knowing we cannot exert the slightest influence on it. How light and pleasant it is to be a link in that other chain that binds us together in al-Anon, and to discover how to correct the attitudes that keep us chained to our anxieties.
“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good.”
