About
I am a grateful member of Al-anon, and I created this journal to post things that catch my fancy and help me in my recovery journal. I didn’t expect that anyone else would find this or read this but I’m glad.. I don’t think there really is such thing as a truly normal person.. we could all benefit from more wisdom.. more serenity.. more God in this world.
I was looking for blogs about families of addiction and came across your blog. I have read over your recent blogs and find that I identify with a lot of what you are saying. Maybe I am not the one who has to do all the fixing. My head understands that, but my heart has yet to get the message. I will continue to read your blog, and I plan to start one of my own. Maybe I can make sense of the past 15 years so I can learn to move on.
Hi Kaeryn! I’ve been going to meetings the past few years and one of the things that is said a lot is “we’re sorry for why you’re here, but we’re glad you ARE here”. I say that in the same way when I say I’m glad, and I’m not glad at the same time that you understand. It really is a different language that so-called “normal” people don’t understand. I’m sorry you understand it but grateful we understand each other
I need to learn to move on myself… I’ll keep posting!
I think you’re remarkable and I love reading about your journey.
Good morning~
My aunt just sent me this link, as I too, am a “mad” woman with a diary.
This is moving and you courageous…I will be sure to follow. The Monster poem …it’s very good.
