God, help me to see this situation, this person, this thought differently. Help me change my perspective. When I am angry, hurt, afraid, or resentful what might happen if I change my perspective?

I Love Who I Am Becoming
I blamed my husband for all our problems. If only he would stop drinking all our problems would be solved. The fact is . . . I was a major contributor to our problems . . . The disease of alcoholism really does affect the whole family
Al-Anon’s Gifts
I came into Al-Anon exhausted, confused, depressed, afraid, and feeling insane.
Al-Anon’s first gift to me was hope, hope my life could get better. Then I received an epiphany: “It is OK to love an alcoholic/addict.”
Life Is What We Make It
It isn’t what happens to us that determines our happiness. It is our attitude.
Control and Change
I often tell myself and others, “I don’t like change.” I stick with the familiar even though it may not be healthy or good or even working for me, because I know it, and I fear the unknown, the untried. I am not much of a risk taker. The familiar feels safe.
