One Day at a Time in Al-Anon:

It is not mere chance that brought me to Al-Anon. I was led to it by an unknown power because of my need for the sharing and comfort of others like me. To express my gratitude for this gift I will assume certain responsibilities:

  • To study and use the Al-Anon ideas, not only for myself, but for the benefit of my friends in the group.
  • To be concerned about their difficulties and to try to help them solve their problems spiritually.
  • Not to take up the group’s time talking about my problems, but to try to make everything I say reflect an Al-Anon teaching which will have meaning for those who hear me.

Today’s Reminder:

Attending a good Al-Anon meeting is a satisfying experience. Its purpose is far more than just “an evening out”. I will prepare myself for these meetings by reading Al-Anon literature so I can pass on something of value. The net result of such full participation will be a better way of life for me.

“We cannot drop out of human involvement without endangering our spiritual health.”
