I could ...I thank you for your caring words, Syd. <br /><br />I could have kept quiet about JC's comment, but I went ahead and published it. Then, I felt called to answer JC. <br /><br />I don't think it is possible for someone like him/her to understand my wanting to adapt the literature to make my own program stronger. Or the power of rewriting someone else's healing words. I own the Alanon literature that I adapted for my use in my earliest blog posts. I wanted the readings at my fingertips so that I could index them in my own way and choose readings that spoke to specific problems I was having. Because I had had had so many hard drive failures and lost files, I wanted the healing tools and ability to index to be done in a safe place off my computer. I found immediately, that having it in the blog was a little like having an online Bible to access with keywords. <br /><br />An online Bible can not replace a "real" book. Just as Alanon literature does not deliver the power of a meeting. <br /><br />I discovered, in sojourning in Al-anon myself, that my personality disordered person is just like a drunk, without the alcohol! It was my thought, that if others like myself could see how adaptable the Alanon readings are, that they would be encouraged to seek out a meeting to recover from living with a person with a personality disorder.. <br /><br /><br /> Many of us would benefit from Al-anon, who might otherwise not think there was a place for them. Me, I am the granddaughter of an alcoholic, and might never have realized I myself had a family disease, without being welcomed in our Alanon rooms.
