Finding Joy with Al-Anon and God

Have you ever wondered how to find joy in your life, even when things seem tough? I want to share with you my journey of learning and living joy with the help of Al-Anon and God. Joy is like a special feeling that happens when we realize how good things truly are. Let me tell you how I discovered this wonderful feeling.


Discovering Al-Anon:


A few years ago, my family was going through a tough time because someone we loved was struggling with a problem called alcoholism. It was hard for me to understand what was happening, and I felt sad and confused. That's when my family introduced me to a special group called Al-Anon.


Al-Anon is a group of people who come together to support each other when someone they care about is dealing with alcoholism. In Al-Anon, I met other kids who were going through similar things, and we talked about our feelings. It felt good to know that I wasn't alone and that there were others who understood what I was going through.

Learning to Live Joyfully:


In Al-Anon, I learned that joy is something we can feel, even when things are tough. Joy is like a bright light inside us that can shine, no matter what is happening around us. The people in Al-Anon taught me that joy comes when we allow ourselves to see the good things in our lives, even during difficult times.


Believing in God:


Another important part of my journey was discovering the power of faith and believing in God. I learned that God is like a friend who is always there for us, ready to help and guide us. When I felt scared or sad, talking to God made me feel better. It was like having a special connection to someone who cares about me.


How Al-Anon and God Helped Me:


Al-Anon and my belief in God helped me in many ways. They taught me to focus on the positive things in my life, even when things were tough. I started to appreciate the love of my family and friends, the beauty of nature, and the simple joys of everyday life.

When I felt worried or upset, I would remember to talk to God and ask for help. This made me feel stronger and more confident, knowing that I wasn't facing my challenges alone. The combination of Al-Anon's support and my belief in God helped me find joy in moments I never thought possible.


Learning to live joyfully is a special journey that each of us can take. Through the support of Al-Anon and the belief in God, I discovered that joy is something we can find even in difficult times. By recognizing the good things in our lives and trusting in a higher power, we can all learn to live with joy and face whatever challenges come our way.


You gottawanna live free and with joy. Life is too short to be filled with fear and anger. Let it go move forward with peace and love.
