Many years later I again went to Al anon and also to<br \/>\nAdult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) and CODA (Codependents Anonymous).<br \/>\nAll were helpful. <\/p>\n<p>What 12 step groups offer can be applied to a lot of things in life.<br \/>\nSometimes I&#8217;ve thought it would be great if there was a general sort of<br \/>\n12 step group that everyone would feel comfortable going to. As it is now, most people wouldn&#8217;t think to go to one unless they were in a relationship with someone who had a destinct problem with alcoholism or another addiction or they had an addiction themselves.<br \/>More on the <a href=\"http:\/\/alcoholism.about.com\/library\/weekly\/aa990915.htm\">Three C&#8217;s on About.com: Al anon Beginner&#8217;s Meeting<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>January 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/snickers.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/dailyquoteserenity.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/snickers.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/dailyquoteserenity.jpg\" title=\"Dailyquoteserenity\" alt=\"Dailyquoteserenity\" class=\"image-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>About <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Serenity_Prayer\">the Serenity Prayer<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>About <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reinhold_Niebuhr\">Reinhold Niebuhr<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>About the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aahistory.com\/prayer.html\">History of the Serenity Prayer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><strong>January 2<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/snickers.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/dailyquotebillings1.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/snickers.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/dailyquotebillings1.gif\" title=\"Dailyquotebillings1\" alt=\"Dailyquotebillings1\" class=\"image-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikiquote.org\/wiki\/Josh_Billings\">About Josh Billings<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Graham Greene To read previous Almost Daily Quotes for January 2007, click on the link to continue reading this post.
