On Nov 18, 2003, I put together the Nar-Anon Workshop
here at Essence of Recovery. I did extensive research
finding all the information, I am not the author but most
of it I cited where the information was and posted a link
to the sites.
Just recently I was reading at another recovery site and
I found almost 100% of my work posted. There was no
link to Essence of Recovery just that it came from here.
The person who did this is a former member......
I can't say I am angry, just feel like someone punched me
in the stomach. Maybe I should feel flattered? Or proud?
But more than anything I feel betrayed!
The information was posted here to help those newcomers
coming into Nar-Anon and Al-Anon. I pray that those that
took this information from this site did it for the right reasons
and I pray it helps anyone reading it at the other site.
Maybe, I just felt hurt and aggravated that a former member
would do this, with out even mentioning it!
Peace on the journey, SG

Sorry that happened SG...I can understand the feeling. Let's hope it helped others and pray for that person.

"Spiritual Awakenings often come in Rude Awakenings,
so you better pay attention!" (heard in a meeting)
When I came in this morning, I realized that when I wrote
this post last night I had worked up a major resentment.
I always do a little prayer and some reading before I start
to write anything and I came across the quote above and it
just really hit home with me.
BW.... You are 100% right!
"If you have a resentment you want to be free of,
if you will pray for the person or the thing that you
resent, you will be free. ...every day for two weeks"
p. 552, Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Ed.
Great to see you on the boards today kiddo... SG

and what was told to me was that if after those 2 weeks if your gut is still a churnin ['cuz resentments can really fester]...repeat for another 2 weeks...
ain't that good news that there is no expiration date on prayers?....LOL

I like the idea o repeat if you are still churnin!
I know how I would feel. I would feel violated...like somebody stole something from me. I do like the way BW looks at it though...wishing that the info helps a newcomer no matter where they read it.

Well everyone must felt very resentful, because I have linked the site to Facebook. I am grateful to share the messages with others, with the hope it will help someone who reads it. The site was dying because everyone went away, what is a person to do. This site is special to me. It has been my home group since 2004.  |

Will keep you in my prayers. Hope the move was a good one for you. Pain is one of the reasons I took a week holiday from my computer. I had trouble thinking through the pain. Today's message for me, was when I try to manage, my life becomes unmanageable. I am guilty of letting my Fibromyalgia run my life. Hope you will be able to keep coming to the site. I know for me, I feel better when I do, and yet this past week, I just couldn't get here. You have been missed. Welcome back.  |

So glad you are enjoying your new place. They say change is as good as a rest. I am sure you haven't had too much rest while moving, it can be a stressful thing. Continued prayers for your health.  |

When asked, I have told people in FB, if I post it, it is up for grabs. I call it paying it forward. What I have to say isn't original. I heard it from someone else or I read it. So much of it has seemed to have been God given, it always seemed to be what I needed to hear or know in the moment.
