It’s been months — probably at least six — since I’ve been to an Al-Anon meeting. I let other things including the kids’ activities, my bruised ego, and my desire to pretend my life with an alcoholic is normal keep me away. But I look back and see that I felt much more peace, more serenity if you will, when I was going. Yes, I had gotten to a point where I needed to take it to the next level by really working the steps and talking with a sponsor. But even doing Al-Anon half-way was better for me than not doing it all.
So, I’m feeling like I need to go back, but I don’t know how. I don’t know how to make it a priority in my life. How to schedule in the time. An excuse, I’m sure, but one that seems largely insurmountable right now.
