A member shares about Al-Anon literature

In my search for help in coping with the effects of growing up with alcoholism, I accumulated shelves of books of psychology, religion, and a variety of self-disciplines. As a child I felt I could count on no one, and I was suspicious of asking others for help. I preferred to seek a solo form of assistance from books.

Now I'm slowly accumulating a full library of Al-Anon publications by purchasing them at meetings and studying each one in turn. I've even mustered the courage to discuss my readings with other members. The insights garnered have turned my suspicion into trust. I've come out of my solitary personal library into the welcoming human world of Al-Anon.
