My God does for me what I can’t do for myself. I am so grateful for how my God gently turns me in the direction that I do not realize or remember I need to go. I recently had an experience that was clearly my God reminding me of my program tools.
Let Go and Let God
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.
“Let Go and Let God”
Let Go and Let God” were words that triggered me: How could I not try and fix the issues? How could I let things just be? And, If there was a God, why were these things happening to me? I always needed to feel in control and make sure that things would work out. For the first 40 years of my life, this was my normal way of dealing with life.
New Year’s Intention 101
At the beginning of a new year, many people in Al-Anon choose a word or phrase (sometimes called a watch word) on which they wish to focus their recovery for the coming year such as: Gratitude, Acceptance, Hope, Detach with Love, “Keep it Simple” etc.
The Way to a New Life!
I first heard about Al-Anon seven years ago when, while crying, I asked the substance abuse doctor, “Why is my husband doing this to me? We are supposed to be enjoying our retirement years!” He recommended my husband go into a rehab facility and that I get help from Al-Anon.
