i have 5 years in Al Anon i am the mother of a teen addict who i love more than life.
Al Anon has made me a better mom, a better wife and a better person. In those meetings i have found experience, strength and hope.
My SO has 7 years sobrity he is my hero. He lives every moment and speaks every word with intent.
i am currently listening to the Big Book, i have never read it, in spite of hearing many long time Al Anon members suggest reading it. i am sure that within it i shall find still deeper understanding.
