"A HOST OF FRIENDS" -
"Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends -- this is an experience you must not miss." (How Al-Anon Works, p. 56)
"YET THERE ARE LIMITS TO WHAT WE CAN DO" -
"Yet there are limits to what we can do to help another addict." "We cannot magically remove someone's loneliness or pain." "We can only carry the message; we cannot determine who will receive it." (12 & 12, p. 52)
"The most ter-
rible poverty is lone-
liness and the feeling
of being unloved."
- Mother Teresa (1910 - 1997) Macedonian Missionary & Saint
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself. Like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
