There are no words to describe how ugly it feels to watch generational trauma run it’s coarse. Loving a drug addict or an active alcoholic is the hardest thing you will ever do. Watching someone you love, who has fought so hard to beat addiction, throw everything away and sink back into a life that will most likely lead to jail or death, is one of the hardest things you will ever do.

All you wanted was to help them back to a clean and sober life but you realize by doing this, as you have before, will now just be enabling them because it will show them that you will always be there to bail them out. You want to grab and shake them and say "What are you doing?!?!" But, at some point you realize that it wouldn't make a difference. So you sit back and watch the tragedy unfold, as if you are watching a movie. Feeling helpless to stop it, feeling like you haven't done enough to help, even though you know only the addict can help themselves.

Battling a drug and/or an alcohol addiction is a beast for the person addicted and the ones who love them. So l am asking you to stand with me in prayer for every family member and friend who has lost or is losing their battle with drugs and alcohol and those who continue to conquer it!

It's okay ask for help. I will never stop praying for addiction to end.

looking for a good meeting , join us at little House Al Anon Tuesdays

Happy Saturday Recovery Family 💙

Today’s Topic…Hope & H.A.L.T.

When I attended my first Al‑Anon meeting, my denial was so thick I did not recognize there was any alcoholism in my family. I thought the problem was me.

It was my good fortune to attend my first Al‑Anon meeting in Seattle. It was a large meeting that broke into smaller groups. One of the groups was for beginners and met in the hallway. We sat in rows of chairs that faced each other. When it was my turn to speak, I said that I was there at the recommendation of a counselor and that I didn’t know if I belonged in Al‑Anon. The member who volunteered to lead the meeting assured me that I was welcome to keep coming back until I knew for sure whether Al‑Anon could help me. She said I could share why the counselor suggested I try Al‑Anon, or I could just listen. She left the decision up to me.

I explained that I went to see a counselor because I felt tempted to cross the centerline and ram my car into opposing traffic. I didn’t know why I felt like causing a serious accident, but I knew that, if I didn’t get help, someone was going to get hurt. The counselor suggested I go to Al‑Anon. The chairperson thanked me for sharing and encouraged me to keep coming back. She also introduced the acronym, H.A.L.T. to me, which stands for hungry, angry, lonely and tired. She said if any of us found ourselves feeling too hungry, angry, lonely or tired, it might be a good idea to drop everything else and take care of that need right away. It was just what I needed to hear.

Eventually, Al‑Anon helped me recognize the alcoholism that permeated at least four generations of my family. I have learned so much by listening to other people talk about their families. Of all the people who have been affected by someone else’s drinking, I don’t know how I got lucky enough to find Al‑Anon. I am very grateful, and today I feel safe behind the wheel of a car.

What Is the History of Al-Anon’s Book “How Al-Anon Works”?

“Alcoholics act and family members and friends react. Most of the time, we react because we don’t realize we have a choice. It’s automatic. In Al-Anon, we are reminded that we have choices.” (“How Al-Anon Works”, p. 30)

“How Al-Anon Works for Families & Friends of Alcoholics” (B-32) is Al-Anon’s most comprehensive book today. It was developed following the passage of a motion at the 1990 World Service Conference to “give conceptual approval for the production of a comprehensive, informational and recovery book that reflects the universality of AI-Anon and Alateen..." It was originally released as B-22 in 1995 at the A.A. International Convention in San Diego, California, USA.

Available in English, Spanish, and French, “How Al-Anon Works” is a helpful guide for anyone who wants to learn about Al-Anon Family Groups. The first part of the book explains the tools and ideas of the Al-Anon program. The second part shares real-life stories from people who have been helped by practicing the Al-Anon program.

In 2011, a softcover version of “How Al-Anon Works” was made available at a lower price, initially as an outreach project so that groups could give a copy to newcomers. Once the book was available at a lower price, sales of the hardcover book dropped, and in 2017, printing of the hardcover book in all three languages was suspended for a trial period of three years with an annual review.
