Thanksgiving

This morning I am giving thanks for finding my way to Al Anon.  I am so very happy to have found a community of ACOA's to walk along side on my journey to recovery.  With each passing day, when I fail to "work" my program...and I sit lazily trying to give in to the disease I have new thoughts that occupy my mind.  I have sayings, prayers, principles, thoughts of my alanon friends and family, a phone message, an email and things that tell me I am exactly where I need to be.  In my heart, I can actually feel the warmth of the love that comes from the higher power in my life.  My higher power, as I have said many times, is not just the God of my understanding, but acceptance of love people are attempting to give me so freely and appropriately and unconditionally. 

Today, I will not be afraid because I am not alone.  Today I will read, journal, pray and ask for help to turn over my will and my life yet again to a God who loves me.  Be at peace friends.  Know that you are not alone.  I am so happy to know these things and am very much hoping to share with you.
