Lori Says: I didn't know I had so many problems that involved alcohol until the veil was lifted from my eyes. All my relationships involved someone who has a problem with alcohol; my father, husband, brothers-in-law. All the men in my life and my sister's lives have a similar addiction. How did this happen? Al-Anon showed me I was under a veil. Then meeting by meeting they lifted it for me by sharing similar stories. I now know that I am not crazy and I can help myself.
Note: The "Thoughts of the Day" are from members of various 12 step programs. Some will are A.A., some Al-Anon, and some Adult Children of Alcoholics. Take what you need and leave the rest!
