[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 662490, member: 17542"] Lila, you don't need to be afraid of Al-Anon. The first time I went (I stayed for 18 months and gained a lot but not as much as I could have), I just sat there and cried and cried. I didn't say a word. Al-Anon suggests coming for 6 times until "you decide if Al-Anon is for you." That's because at first it's hard to take it in, the routine, what people are saying and sharing, the fact that you are fully accepted, the silences, the respect. If you will go, you will find healing and peace and a new life. It's like anything else, you will get out of it what you put into it, and that means just...showing up. Warm hugs tonight. [/QUOTE]
