"We might have imagined that a wrong we did was due to some character flaw in us, but this wasn't always so. Much damage can be done by those richly endowed with kindness, love, sympathy and tolerance. Many a person with all those beautiful qualities, and with the best of intentions has wreaked havoc on the lives of others and themselves"
hi everyone, thanks for all the great takes on the programme. Good to see how much people appreciate it. Such a caring sharing board! this quote interested me because it makes me think of the kind of assumptions I could make about what 'type' of person someone is. Programme can throw all that up in the air sometimes. And bring up surprising sides of ourselves! and the 'ways' in which we have harmed others is not always so simple either.

Hi everyone, there doens't seem to be much going on with the Al-Anon threads at the moment, maybe people are away. I wouldn't worry about it. Will look in again to see if there has been any activity. If you want to know more about the running of the board please write to the moderators. They are Dot, John and Amanda I think. I am not one and I don't know if there has been any change in the programme,
