Home from our overnight trip, and I'm too tired to do much writing, but I like this, from today's page (110) in the ODAT:
"Al-Anon is for people - people who have a problem they want to solve by sharing their experiences, strengths and hopes with other people. The more varied the experience, the greater the strength and hope."
That's 12-step - each of us, regardless of our place in society, has equal value inside the meeting rooms. Any one of us, may make the one comment which resonates with a desperate member of the group, as the helpful thought he or she can cling to, in the week to come.
If we keep an open mind, we will find help.
Yes, it's the great part about our program.
