“I didn’t give up, so here I am” (2 October)
The programme works, but not straight away.
There is no need to have troubles in the long term. There is a solution to everything. My job is to apply, apply, apply until the trouble goes. If it’s still there, more effort is required.
The answer I’ve found in Al-Anon is to stick at it for the duration.
This applies to everything else in my life.
With the attitude that a success will be made of whatever the endeavour is—without the notion of a bolthole—I do what needs to be done.
How do I stay in Al-Anon? How do I stay in relationships?
Unity: don’t attack either others or the vessel; be of service. That’s literally it.
