Sometimes just reading and listening is more educational than talking..so slowly and surely I'm getting an education here.<BR/>Thanks for the lesssons.Spicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092460015575995500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-9322715272323642832007-11-07T05:42:00.000-05:002007-11-07T05:42:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing that.

And Al-Anon and AA and the like give us tools to get through it with more grace, especially if we have been damaged in some way. I'm really grateful for what I have received from my experiences in AA. Just knowing there is a safe haven makes all the difference to someone like me.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354890444410748967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-53615628918149810242007-11-06T05:18:00.000-05:002007-11-06T05:18:00.000-05:00The Al-Anons that I have close realationships with...The Al-Anons that I have close realationships with today, are the ones who came into the 12 step program with the same six words that I said "Can someone here please help me?"<BR/>Good post today Syd darlin'.Pammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513814300181006348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-68815032824469868172007-11-06T03:19:00.000-05:002007-11-06T03:19:00.000-05:00good for you. go and do what works for you!good for you. go and do what works for you!Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-73364530375903335432007-11-05T17:28:00.000-05:002007-11-05T17:28:00.000-05:00good stuff.good stuff.dAAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378341182741173178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-18018369533765578772007-11-05T12:53:00.000-05:002007-11-05T12:53:00.000-05:00I remember my first AA meeting, I was scared to de...I remember my first AA meeting, I was scared to death, I sat at the back of the row of seats. I didn't share for a long time. They told me to keep coming back, & things would get better. They got better, then worse, then better, & they sure got different. It's been difficult, but I am so much better today, & I have more awareness. It's two steps forward, a step back, then forward, I go up & down, but it is all so worth it. It keeps getting better, if I let my HP take over. Thanks for sharing.sharonsjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397338051674165096noreply@blogger.com
