From Victim to Victory, Using the Tools of Al-Anon
When I think of the word victory, I think of achieving success despite significant obstacles. I see it as living my best life with serenity, dignity, and grace. One of the biggest barriers to my own victory was my victim outlook. I placed an enormous amount of importance on things outside myself: my circumstances,
Letting Healthier Parenting Begin with Me
Letting Healthier Parenting Begin with Me
When I first joined Al‑Anon, the slogan “Let It Begin with Me” struck me. It felt like those particular words, in that particular order, were the essence of what brought me to my first meeting. One memory stands out most clearly. I was in the middle of the kitchen talking to my adolescent daughter. I
I Found My Safe Space
I Found My Safe Space
I first set foot in Al‑Anon because of my mother’s drinking. My partner, who is in Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.), suggested Al‑Anon, and so did other outside help. At that point, I had been to some open A.A. meetings, and I craved the feeling of community I witnessed there. One night, the day after my birthday, I
The Right Time for Recovery
The Right Time for Recovery
“When is the right time?” I was asked this question recently at a meeting by a young man who felt lost and confused about his spouse’s alcoholism and came to Al‑Anon as his last hope. This brought back memories of when I had contemplated divorce and wondered when the right time for it might

Understanding how alcoholism affects my son—and me
In 2017, I was 5’2” and weighed 117 pounds. My six-foot son weighed 116 pounds. The swirl of confusion and chaos in my head was ever-present, making it difficult to engage. Every boundary I set was crossed, and I said nothing. Every time I made excuses for my son, I became more resentful. And

When I Let It
When I Let It
When I first started in Al‑Anon, I knew I needed help. I knew I needed to change myself to survive my relationship with my newly sober spouse. Now that he was working a program, I had become the crazy one! So, I reluctantly brought myself to my first meeting, having exhausted all other options.
Pledge to Myself as the Wife of an Alcoholic
Pledge to Myself as the Wife of an Alcoholic
Today, I will be still and listen to myself. I will drop the fallacy in my thinking that holds me solely responsible for the success or failure of my family. I will release a dream to which I was never entitled in the first place. Today, I will show up in my marriage as I
The Family Situation Can Improve
The Family Situation Can Improve
One morning I was riding my bicycle with a group of friends and really enjoying the beautiful day. I have found that little “Aha!” moments sometimes happen unexpectedly when I’m on my bike and my mind is in a peaceful and serene place. For so long I had felt, as so many do, that I
Home at Last
Home at Last
I’ll never forget my first Al‑Anon meeting. The image is burned into my memory. It was in a large basement room of a church, and about 30 people were in attendance. The room was painted white, and the overhead lights shone down to brighten up the room even more. That color resonated with me;
