Actionable principles from One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, December 18:
- When sharing, don’t complain: instead, say something constructive.
- Listen out for God to reveal His will for me through others’ words.
- When I hear a useful principle, write it down and return to it regularly.
- When sharing or talking, make my point then shut up.
- Speak pertinently to the meeting or conversation topic.
- Instruct on principles but do not advise specific life actions.
- Wash dirty linen with a trusted and worthy confidante, not the group.
- Waste not one minute: dedicate the meeting to the service of God.
