I Got A Sponsor!!!!!!
I had gone to this Al-Anon meeting down the street a couple weeks ago and heard this lady speak who sounded like she really has learned a lot from this program. I've been back a couple of times to ask her to be my sponsor and finally tonight she was there and said yes!!!! I am excited for the first time in months, since AXBF behavior destroyed my world.
Just wanted to share. It was a really good meeting and I'm so glad I went.

I am sssooooo happy for you. I swear my sponsor was an angel sent from heaven. Her love and guidance have helped me more than I could ever explain. God bless your new sponsor and God bless you too.

Congratulations, L2L!!!
My Al-Anon meetings have not been an instant success, much less finding a sponsor. It encourages me that everything fell in line for you to find a sponsor. I will keep going back and trying new groups until things fall into place for me too.

Wonderful!! Please keep us posted on what you learn if you feel comfortable doing so. I'm particularly interested because I've not attended al anon in a few weeks. I continue to see my counselor every 10 days or so. I felt like, although I really loved the al anon group I found, I wasn't sure how or if it was helping me. In my personal emotional devastation these last three weeks , I lost motivation to go.

I understand the devastation you speak of mmk11. Dealing with the same thing here. What is amazing to me is that I have a lot of experience being in relationships with addicted and alcoholic people. I've really been to hell and made it back and yet the horrible, twisted, selfish things they do still surprise and dumbfound me. The pain of dealing with these folks is just excrutiating but I continue to fool myself into ignoring the fact that they are ruled by sickness and evil, and continue to get emotionally involved with them. I am otherwise a pretty smart and intelligent person. Makes no sense.
