A is for Al-Anon
Al-Anon doesn’t give us the choice between feeling
good or feeling bad- it gives us the choice between
feeling and not feeling.

I is for Insecure. Insecurity was part of my disease. Being secure within myself is a gift from my Higher Power. To be in tune with who I am and accepting of her in the moment, is bonus.

O is for... One
One Day At a Time
This slogan has always been so helpful to me. Keep the
focus on Today!
"If we've got one foot in tomorrow and one foot in yesterday,
do you know what that means?......it means we're pissin on
today".

P is fro PATIENCE. I need to be PATIENT with myself and not expect so much of myself. I need to be patient with my HP...he does things in HIS OWN TIME. My wishes and hopes may not be HIS, so I have to be PATIENT and wait for the day we have the same wish .

R is for Respect. I had to learn to respect myself as well as others. Other's had a right to their opinion and so do I. Most times, I respectfully agree to disagree, and that is okay.
My sponsor says, "Is that too abrupt )jer word) for you." I said, "No, I prefer that you share your opinion with me. She is not an alcoholic, so there are some things we don't see eye to eye on and that is okay. There is a lot more we do have similiar like coming from abusive marriages with alcoholic spouses, children in active addiction, and daughters of alcoholic/addict parents.

T is for Trust. Through trusting my Higher Power, I learned to trust myself. Learning to trust others took a lot of healing. I still tend to want to say "Show Me!" not "Tell Me!"
