al-anon checking in
almost 9 years now..


after a year and a half of marriage and lots of life changes...
i NEVER left, but didn't really go to many meetings with all the changes going on.

moving from Dallas to Fort Worth might as well be a million miles.

I have a new sponsor and she is giving me lots to do. Thank goodness.

time to let go and let god...'cause i sure as hell can't do it. :crazy:

I don't have any active alcoholics in my life -- I don't need that to be nuts...I'm a real Al-anon. I'm crazy enough for just myself.

1. Welcome to our group, Mrs. Brady.
We follow the same 12 steps and traditions,
beginning with the first step-

1.We admitted we were powerless over alcohol( or, insert your addiction here)
-that our lives had become unmanageable.

That unmanageability and powerlessness sends us to the edge.

Many of us, myself included are AAers, ACAs and Al-Anons,
all rolled into one.

It is a family disease.

I'm glad you found us.
:D

Welcome, again.

:hi:

4. Hello and welcome.


Please stick around. We have so many people here who could use you wisdom.

Lots of people stick their virtual heads in here asking for help and, almost like a greek chorus,
we all say: Go To Al-Anon! to the people who are in alcoholic relationships.


:hi:
