Forum Magazine
October Forum
The Forum is a monthly magazine that is filled with stories from members sharing their personal experience, strength and hope. This "voice of the fellowship" offers a forum in which individual members and groups can be heard. Such sharing is vital in helping readers find growth and serenity through the Al-Anon program.
Sneak Peak - October 2011
I hardly know where to begin on singing the praises of the October FORUM. The Zip letters were a power packed group. It started with a letter reminding us that we are always welcome at Al-Anon, even if we’ve been away for awhile. There was a slogan that I hadn’t heard: “Staying in the day” that is now my new favorite. Next a note from a wife who learned to allow her spouse the dignity to make his own choices. (Wow! What a concept!) The last one was a note to newcomers and how special they are and often unknowingly encourage all at the meeting.
All of that from just page four and five!!!! Midway through this power-packed issue is an article written by “Anonymous” applying the Serenity Prayer to each step and explaining how the Serenity Prayer even works backwards. The Feature entitled “Finding the answers within…” is a story of one member’s journey to fill the hole in his heart. I also enjoyed the article about the snail. What a picture of how Al-Anon helps us to make the choices we need to make in this life.
Don’t miss this issue, or any of them. It is just full of inspiration and guidance for all of us on this wonderful journey called life. Get your subscription to the FORUM and one for a friend too. What a good gift that would make. (Yes, the holidays are coming!!) -- God Bless-Pat T.
