One Day at a Time in Al-Anon:
For my own good I will go to Al-Anon meetings with an open mind, ready to receive and accept new ideas. For my own good I will apply these ideas to my own life.
If I go to meetings with a mind tightly closed, ready to criticize what I hear, it is as though I were to hold a teaspoon under Niagara Falls in an effort to get water for my thirst.
Every Al-Anon meeting has something important to give to the listener and the sharer. I must be willing to listen and share.
Today’s Reminder:
I will remember that I go to Al-Anon for the instruction and emotional support I cannot find elsewhere. I will get help from others who understand my distress; I will ask for their guidance as to my own shortcomings which I may find difficult to recognize. I know I need not accept everything everyone says, but the thinking process it engenders will set me on the right path.
“I pray that I may always bring a healing helpful message to my fellow members in Al-Anon, and I pray for the willingness to search out the good in what they say to me.”
