Meeting scheduled in the Al-anon chat room at 9:00AM Eastern Standard Time

Topics will be: “Accepting Change” and “Acknowledging & Celebrating Progress”

Accepting Change - from the book The Language of Letting Go ©1990, Hazelden Foundation.
The winds of change blow through our life, sometimes gently, sometimes like a tropical storm.
Yes, we have resting places - time to adjust to another level of living, time to get our balance, time to enjoy the rewards. We have time to catch our breath. But change is inevitable, and desirable.
Sometimes, when the winds of change begin to rustle, were not certain the change is for the better. We may call it stress or a temporary condition, certain well be restored to normal.
Sometimes, we resist. We tuck our head down and buck the wind, hoping that things will quickly calm down, get back to the way things were. Is it possible were being prepared for a new normal?
Change will sweep through our life, as needed, to take us where were going. We can trust that our Higher Power has a plan in mind, even when we dont know where the changes are leading.
We can trust that the change-taking place is good. The wind will take us where we need to go.
Today, help me, God, to let go of my resistance to change. Help me be open to the process. Help me believe that the place Ill be dropped off will be better than the place where I was picked up.
Help me surrender, trust, and accept, even if I dont understand.
