I met a really nice man yesterday when I was having my oil changed. As far as I can tell there isn't anything wrong with him but I only just met him. I remember being told when I first came into Al-Anon that sick people attract sick people. I sure hope I'm not that sick any more. I'd like to attract healthy people. I don't want to take on anyone else's problems, to control, manipulate or fix anyone. I have enough problems of my own. I just want to be able to sit next to someone without worrying about what might or might not happen. To be able to sit in someone's presence and just be- to breathe in and out, to exist without trying to become someone else and to allow them to do the same.
