Step 7 - Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings. I like to look words up. Here's what I found today: in a way that shows or suggests a modest or low estimate of one's importance; meekly."the servant bowed humbly before his master" in a lowly position or condition; unpretentiously."she is livin...

Concept Three - The right of decision makes effective leadership possible.One of the questions in Paths to Recovery asks Do I ever ask someone to do a task and then try to direct the details of how it should be done? If so, how can I change this pattern?Pre Al Anon I was very guilty of asking someone in a wor...

4. Participation is the key to harmony. Through this meeting I discovered the nuance in Tradition 7. Latterly in Concept 4, as well. I always felt that harmony always existed outside of me. In my Step 11 musings, something has been clambering for attention. An old memory- and my mum's words- when...

Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. What does it mean to be ready? My first time through the steps, I thought I was ready. I admitted I had the defects. I figured life could be better without them and I just knew I was ready to say "remove them" But I wasn't entirel...

Audrey · Audrey

Step 5 - Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs I was so unexcited about this step. I remember at my first many meetings listening to the steps being read and knowing that when it came time to admit to someone else how awful I was, I'd be out the door. That's h...

Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. This step scared me the first time I faced it. I remember seeing a meme of a skeleton saying "come out, come out" I also knew that in step 5, I would be sharing my step 4 discoveries. Again, this scared me silly. Yet I had willingness. Some...

Tradition Three - The relatives of alcoholics, when gathered together for mutual aid, may call themselves an AlAnon Family Group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation. The only requirement for membership is that there be a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend.What I l...

Step 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of god as we understood him. My first time through the steps, I fought this, just as I fought all the steps LOL. Yes, today I can laugh about that. I was used to doing everything my way. I just could not imagine giving up my will. In time, I su...

Concept 2 - The AlAnon Family Groups have delegated complete administrative and operational authority to their Conference and its service arms. We are so fortunate to have no only the steps and traditions but we also have the twelve concepts of service. I'd like to share a quote out of the book Reach...

Tradition 2 - For our group purpose there is but one authoritya loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servantsthey do not govern. What I love about this tradition is that it's a reminder that we each have a voice in all of our affairs. I love looking at...

Audrey · Audrey

Step 2 - Came to believe a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity I came to this program with a lot of doubt. The god of my childhood was judgmental and punishing. There was no way I was going to use that as my higher power. So for a little while I just spoke the words with no meaning. I did list...

Audrey · Audrey

Tradition 1 - Our common welfare should come first; personal progress for the greatest number depends upon unity. I absolutely love this tradition. I apply this to both my personal life and my professional life. Before Al Anon there was only one way and that was my way. I would fight and argue and manip...

Happy new year to all who come here. I love starting over. I love new opportunities. I love new beginnings. Step 1 - We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable. I'd like to share some questions from Reaching For Personal Freedom 1. What keeps me holding on to the...

Audrey · Audrey

Tradition 12 - Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles above personalities. There is so much wisdom in this tradition. It reminds me the importance of humility. It reminds me to look for the common bonds for the shared bonds versus seeking o...

Audrey · Audrey

Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. I love this step. This step reminds me how important it is to be of service. One of the meetings I attend is HUGE, about 80 people daily. It t...

Audrey · Audrey

Tradition 11 - Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, films and TV. We need guard with special care the anonymity of all AA members. I have so much ESH on this specific tradition. I'll start wit...

Audrey · Audrey

Step 10 - Continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. I am so grateful to have many program friends. Most I know practice this step in the evening. I actually practice it in the morning. I am very much a morning person. I'm alert, clear headed and enjoy my mornings ver...
