I was always anticipating the next thing to rock my world and saw catastrophes when I thought of possible outcomes. What if my son starts using again? What if he drops out of school again? What if my husband kicks him out? What if he gives up and tries to harm himself?

Doubt and Love
Doubt is a part of my life and relationship with my Higher Power. Love is a force, a force of good in this universe, and it is my Higher Power. It is something much more powerful than I. Love works miracles. Yet, I doubt it is here to take care of me or that it cares about what goes on in this world, let alone my little life.
Can I Trust That All is Well?
I find I sometimes lack trust and faith that all is well no matter what is going on. To know my Higher Power has the answers to my problems and I will become aware of those answers when it is time for me to know, this is my hope.
Dear ONE Prayer
Our thoughts will grace our lives and those around us. Here is my prayer:
I lay my old behaviors before you dear ONE and ask you change me to be as you have created me to be.
Brokenness
The rooms of Al-Anon – and AA – are full of broken people. We enter shattered by heartbreak and worry . . . the effects of alcoholism on our lives. But in the rooms, we find hope that we can laugh again.
