From "Window of Opportunity"
"I once knew a woman who was crying before a meeting.
She was approached by a five-year-old girl who told her,
'You don’t have to cry here. This is a good place. They took
my daddy and they made him better.' That is exactly what
A.A. did for me; it took me and it made me better. For that I am eternally grateful."
Fourth Edition; Alcoholics Anonymous, pg. 431
I received hope at my first meeting in treatment. Two fantastic ladies shared their story, They have both moved away since then, one does live a couple of hours away. I have met her niece and her daughter in Al-Anon. What God takes away, He gives back, not always in the same way, but it the same manner with many blessings.
All these years my son has said, "I hope you don't pick up again mom." I isn't willing for himself, but has always been for me.
. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
