After many years of chaos, confrontations, heartache (even with my controlling efforts gone bad), I finally came to Al-Anon -- sick, broken and bruised. Being let go from jobs, being the bread winner, supporting my alcoholic, I was a workaholic and practically killing myself. You see, it was always everyone else's fault. It was never anything to do with my actions, my attitude or my behavior.
You took me into your meetings, into your heart and you didn't judge me. You took me in and asked me to stay for at least six meetings. You showed me your experience from living the Steps, your strength from walking the talk with the Traditions and your hope from sharing the program with others.
You taught me I had the freedom to listen and learn, to detach with love and to heal -- from the craziness, the confusion and the despair. You taught me I had a higher power and that I could "Let go and Let God" help me. You gave me hope.
