I have only been to 3 meetings but last night I made this observation....the new people look old for their age, tired and just worn down. Their hearts are broken and their spirits are crushed.
The active members have a sparkle in their eye and peaceful aura. They have a bright smile on their face and know how to laugh.
Just an observation I have made! And I can't wait for Monday's meetings!

That's what I saw my first meeting too, people who had problems bigger than mine, who were calm and happy and filled with peace. I wanted what they had.
Glad you enjoyed the meeting, this is the beginning of a happier way to live for you.
Hugs

Thank you for your kind words and support! <3
It took me 3 meetings to observe it though. Maybe because I sat and cried through the whole first 2 meetings. lol
What's even sadder (or such a blessing) the group at my first meeting chipped in and bought me the Al-anon book, then people hung around to hug me and comfort me...sharing there stories of pain as inspiration.
Someday, I hope, scratch that, I know I will be able to give back the blessings I received that night. Amazing people!!
