Just common sense on living a good life; and reaching a higher lever of altruism and as Dr. Abraham Maslow said few people reach true self-actualization. The theory of Self-Actualization. <BR/><BR/>I have no addictions either (except coffee) but al-anon is a step program to help those who had suffered from the addictions of friends and families.. <BR/><BR/>It teaches us to continue to have compassion but to set boundaries. And when people go they don't go for the alcoholic .. the focus is supposed to be on our growth; and not to be an enabler; and put the focus on our own journey in LIFE. Detaching with LOVE and not accepting anything unacceptable. YOu can still love the person but you don't have to be part of their problem. They have to want recovery and you have to concentrate on your own recovery. <BR/><BR/>Actually..........being an enabler does not help the addicted person but actually can help them not reach a LOW to want to stop being sick. Most addicts are functional too; and wonderful wonderful humans.. intelligent; creative; but for some reason (they call it a disease) makes them addicted to that substance. <BR/><BR/>But the steps are just good common sense. And the old ways of yelling or crying does no one any good. <BR/><BR/>12 step friends .. no matter what side of the coin they are.. (i know double-winners; meaning they go to al-anon and aa) they practice the steps and are good communicators with other 12 steppers. We are quick to apologize if we are wrong; and we do it with HUMILITY and kindness.. and we also know how to say NO. And therefore not have resentments. (and so many good lessons).

Seriously. I'm not addicted to anything (unless being a worrywort counts! .... and really, that's only been since my business has tanked!)<BR/><BR/>But there are many days I just stop and say "Now now. Take a deep breath. You just have to deal with between now and bedtime. Can you do that, Miss Fussy Britches?" And I immediately pipe down. :)<BR/><BR/>12 Steppers rock... many of my favorite people are 12 Steppers!<BR/>(A collective "high 5" to all of y'all!!)HWHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294913024458099382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436317.post-24941629327469047382009-01-28T07:45:00.000-05:002009-01-28T07:45:00.000-05:00lol.........clean and crazy.. you said exactly wha...lol.........clean and crazy.. you said exactly what I was thinking.
