I attended my first Al-Anon zoom meeting today. I plan to do a beginners one tonight. It was quite liberating especially since my qualifier is passed out in bed. I did something for me that I was so nervous about.
I like having an extra layer of help to go with this forum. Having options for outlets really makes me feel stronger- getting my tools in my toolbox-cant fix everything with a hammer alone, right?!
I might not take huge leaps of advancing but im moving in the right direction for me.

That's wonderful, Hope. Nothing can replace real life support (even when it is virtual ).

Absolutely! I felt so emotional during that whole meeting. But in the end I felt good that I did something for ME😊

You are right! I think I'm going to start a gratitude journal too. I like looking at the positive things. And less focus on all that's crappy.

Thank you! I look forward to checking this out and using it. I'm about to start my 4th and final meeting for the day. I need to keep myself busy while I begin my recovery on a more dedicated level. I don't have much distracting activities so I've decided to emerse myself in my recovery.
