December 16 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON
December 16 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:
There are the super optimists who imagine that Al-Anon has a magic formula for curing all life's ills. A weekly hour for a meeting, they think, and all will be well.
A situation in which the lives and sanity of an entire family are at stake is not so easily solved, but the super optimist resolutely clings to the illusion that Al-Anon can fix everyting. It "fixes" nothing; that is up to us. Not in the once-a-week meeting alone, but with plenty of in-between reading, constant recall of the principles and constant use, Al-Anon does have the formula, but it is we who must use it.
TODAY’S REMINDER
Changing our whole way of thinking is a monumental task, not to be taken lightly. But many thousands of members can testify that it's the most rewarding and self-serving activity ever devised for curing sick family relationships!
"'Listen, read, think, use' says Al-Anon to those who really want a better way of living."
