Good topic, Lin. If I can make it, I will be there. Additionally, I am going to bring it up to the Al-Anon group tomorrow (just the topic).  |

That was a very good topic, Lin, even though I couldn't stick around long. What I did talk about and listen to was very important. To kind of finish what I was saying...it will take me a long time to get this ingrained inferior feeling out of my system. I can tell, though, from reading Antonio's list, that it is not as bad as it used to be and some of the ACOA characteristics have disappeared altogether. That gives me strong hope.

I was pleased you could make it. We have aoca meetings hereSunday and Wednesday at 8 eastern.
HOPE is good. Hope got me through alot of ough times. Patience was tricky. I wanted to get well immediately. I wanted what I saw in others immediately. I had to be patienct. Soon i saw that i was making progress in many areas of my life. I guess it's like losing weight...it is healthier if it comes off slowly...and is more apt to stay off. But if I crash diet and lost it all in a month, it will probably find its way back.
Making small changes in my patterns of thinking and behavior, made it happen. You ahve come a long way since i met you. I'm very proud of you!
Seeing how far we have come by seeeing that list wa a real eye openeer to me too.
