Gratitude

I was going through hell before I came to S-Anon.
My life was all anxiety and tears,
Never happy with myself or anyone else.
When I came, I found a place that had a purpose —
A place that I could feel safe.
Safe enough to talk about my life.
A place that I could offer my opinion.
Even if no one liked it,
I was still accepted.
Imagine that.
I was still accepted.
And being in S-Anon
Makes it much easier to accept myself also,
So, Dear Friends of S-Anon,
Thank you,
For starting the program.
Thank you,
For staying in the program
And helping us reach Our Higher Power
Thank you for using principles…
Above personalities.
And, Thank you,
For being there for me
When I needed it.
