Carol Says:
I'm the wife of an alcoholic and I watch as he deteriorates from this cruel disease. Today he is in much emotional and physical pain as his health is slipping away. But denial keeps him from the reality of his disease. Because of the years I have spent in Al-Anon, I can remove myself from his suffering. I can only hope he will notice what recovery has given me and the spring in my step these days, and want this for himself.
Note:
The "Thoughts of the Day" are from members of various 12 step programs. Some are A.A., some Al-Anon, and some Adult Children of Alcoholics. Take what you need and leave the rest!
