LOVING WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED -
"We are brought
together through a
common problem and
united by a common goal.
We need each other." "There
are no strings. And we re-
spond to this freely given
love by feeling that it is
safe and desirable to
keep coming back."
(How Al Anon,
Works, p.
99)
THE PRACTICAL WAYS WE 'PUT LOVE INTO ACTION' ** -
"We have entered the world of the Spirit." "This is not an overnight matter. It should continue for our lifetime. Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear." "Love and tolerance of others is our code." (The Big Book, p. 84)
"The impor-
tant thing was
to love rather
than to be
loved."
- W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
