Course Correction
Back to Basics It's easy for me to recognize when something is obviously wrong. It's much harder to recognize the small changes that quietly take me off course. This is why it is so crucial that we be all the more engaged and attentive to the truths that we have heard, so that we do not drift off course. Hebrews 2:1 I haven't completed and shared a new devotional in a couple weeks. That bothered me because sharing what I learn has become an important part of my recovery. Life was still […] -
@nilz Ich hatte das beim flüchtigen Hinschauen eher für Werbung von #AlAnon gehalten. Wenigstens war #ChristinaSchubert schneller und hat alle Laternenmasten bis nach Strande mit #SPD-Plakaten okkupiert. #seufz

I always count the Saturday after Thanksgiving as my #AlAnon birthday. Six years.

Children of parents who have a mood or personality disorder, marital discord, are addicted, or overwhelmed with stress can feel lonely, invisible, and unlovable. It happens even when a parent is involved but not emotionally attuned to their children. This trauma leads to shame. #adultchildren #adultchild #acoa #childofaddicts #affectedothers #alanon #mentalhealth #feelings #trauma #shame #guilt #codependency #struggling #neglected #familyoforigin #neglect #emotions #selfesteem #boundaries

Spotted on the 300 block of Mifflin Street on my way home Friday night.
Obviously, this is an elaborate prank by my higher power in order to get my hopes high before pulling the rug out from under me. 🤨 😁

Hmmm. Is there an #AlAnon community on the fediverse? One of my family members is struggling with addiction and I'd love to have other family-and-friends-of folks to talk to

How do I tell my family that I am seriously contemplating going to #AlAnon and ACA meetings?

CW: addiction // 12 Step programs 12 Traditions
AA wants soooo badly for the 12 Steps to be their major contribution to the world, when the steps are mostly general self help and nothing really special imo. The *real* genius of AA is actually the 12 Traditions, which is what I attribute AA’s ability to spread throughout North America and the rest of the world.
It really is an amazing example a democratic, horizontal (mostly) mutual aid organization. The 12 Traditions of AA are a lot less well known (virtually everyone knows that the first step is some variation of “admitting you have a problem” and that if you allude to your “higher power” or “making amends” that your likely in AA/NA/Al-Anon) so I’ll list them here
1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority — a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
3. The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.
4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole.
5. Each group has but one primary purpose — to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
6. An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
7. Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
9. A.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
10. Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

For real, curating what comes into my brain helps keep me #sober.
As a person with a long history of trying to change what I can't change.

All of my clients #today are struggling with substance use, have struggled with substance use, and/or are affected by someone else's substance use.💔
I have enough problematic day drinkers on my caseload I could start a small group.
We could meet at 10 am and call it happy hour.
Jk.
Love my people. #Powerless.

All of the trusted servant positions are filled in my little #AlAnon homegroup!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Better yet I'm not doing any of them right now (Not against service work but do a lot of service in another group.) So phew.

Someone I care a lot about is in a tough spot and it's a full time job not to hover, rescue, and enable.
This is what I'm doing: worrying, praying, meditating, lighting a candle, meeting my responsibilities, sticking with my routine, fretfully cleaning, staying in touch with my #recovering folk, looking forward to seeing my sponsor, venting to y'all.
Is it working?
Well I'm still #sober.

Bookended my day with zoom #AA in the morning and zoom #AlAnon in the evening. Ate homemade soup. Ate kiwi. Ate wild rice. Drank bitter hot chocolate. Scrubbed the tub and bleached the shower curtain and toilets and cleaned my part of the fridge and walked for 84 minutes and took 3 naps.
Maybe 4.
Texted with people who love me. Got paid to do a thing I would do for free.
I'm so very spoiled on the day to day.

CW: Sweary
#Powerless over my dad, his health, his financial decisions, his depression, his messy house, my brother, their isolation, the aging process, mental illness, distance.
Next right things: pack, make snacks for airplane, make dinner, sweep and mop, breathe, go the fuck home.

Another sad day for Democracy #AlAnon is systematically destroying our society. Throwing away the rule of law. They're going to set up a Nazi Inquisition... especially if you're Caucasian, scientific, artistic or different in any way. I'm not getting on the back of the bus are you?

Well met, #12steps friend!
Grateful #sober member of #AA and #AlAnon here.
You can find more of us at #recoveryPosse or by following @recoveryposse

Hi #recovering friends, shall we get to know each other as we gather over here?
Maybe say what you're recovering from or towards, how you're doing it, something you've accomplished, make a thread, so our new friends can find us?
I'll start. I'm Mammal, I have 32 years of continuous #sobriety in #AA and 5 years of emotional sobriety in #AlAnon. I deal with #insomnia and tend towards #depression and #anxiety.
Please reply and boost, we need each other.
