For the past month I have been regularly attending Al-anon meetings to help me deal with my spouse's problems with alcohol. It was very scary to walk into the 1st meeting, but now I am more calm about it now. I really actually needed to go about 5 years ago but hey, better late than never. I am not sure what I expected exactly...hugging, crying ,etc., but actually it's more humor, uplift, and deep insights. I know 2 of the meetings I actively felt the presence of God with me. Pretty wild, huh. I still don't know much and don't even know all the words of the serenity prayer, but it helps.

That's really, really awesome. I'm so glad for your having found that community. It's funny how Blogger has a link that says "Report Abuse" on it next to your entry (as always). It kind of gives it additional meaning.
And although I'm not a churchgoing sort, I totally believe in that kind of Jesus.
