Cleaning my hard drive: an exercise in working the Steps

forum

I was talking to a friend one evening and she shared how she dealt with her resentments. I remember going home happy because I didn’t think I had a resentment problem. I was wrong.

That night my computer wasn’t working properly. I quickly realized that my hard drive was full. To free up space, I used the computer’s uninstall wizard to get rid of unwanted programs. My computer ran much better.

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

Al-Anon's Three Legacies

Al-Anon has three legacies: Recovery (through the Steps), Unity (through the Traditions) and Service (through the Concepts).
