AlAnon One Day At A Time Community Group
This is a group for families and friends affected by someone elses drinking.
The reading today deals with the issue of anger and what we do with it. Rather than hiding it we find ways to express the anger or
do something active like walking or beating a pillow, etc. Thomas Jefferson states, "If you are angry...count to ten; if very angry count to 100."
Just don't hide your anger as it will build up lots of resentments.
Wishing you all a good day.
So my son is relapsing or getting into violent behavior or both. My husband is quite upset about the whole thing but my AlAnon time has paid off. I am sleeping fine, and though I am sorry and disappointed, andthe future for him seems way less good, I am this time taking care of my own life and don't allow myself to worry about what his path is. His choices are just that, and I must take care of me now, and not go down the road I did when I was so embroiled in all his issues and all my suffering. I really was suffering when I found AlAnon. Ten years there is really helping me stay on my side of the street. Anger; not there. I have stayed collected so far. I need to keep healing myself, and that is my job.
I don't like what they have done to dailystrength at all but I'll keep posting when I can.
And I hope you are taking care of yourself too, and your health issues. Of course you are. All the best.
Still getting used to the "new and improved" dailystrength site. Sending love and support.
