I try to get to my meeting every week. It's very helpful but I need to get a sponsor and I'm not sure exactly how to go about it. Side effects all good !:)
I've been a member of Al-Anon for 8 years. In face my last chip I received was my eight year birthday chip. I can't really remember why I just stopped attending my meetings but I can tell you this, when I stopped going to my meetings, my serenity stopped in me as well as everything else I had found there. That should tell me exactly what I need to do right? Then why is it so hard to start back?
I like the group and very glad I go. Considering a sponser but havnt met the right person yet.
I went to an alateen meeting in cedarburge but I can't go there because of familey problems and I love to join yours I know a lot of stuff.

Not only SAVED my life but GAVE me a life too!
Just celebrated 2 years; very active in service in my district. Attend all the workshops, conventions and retreats that I can. Al-Anon works for me, ver well, when I work it.
I have been to a lot of meetings so far over the last two months. SOmetimes they work and sometimes they do not. I feel that I am trying to deal with multiple problems and when I am really upset about the affair none of the ALANON stuff helps me at all, in fact it makes me even more angry.

It made me realize my enabling and gave me the strength to stand up to my husband when he made excuses for his drinking.
When my Mom went to Al-Anon she always shared with me. Everyone became very close and we all did everything together.
