Nota, an Al-Anon friend of mine, and I have had a rather lively bunch of e-mail exchanges. It seems Linda had asked her help with obtaining some speaker tapes. Apparently the sometimes pushy Linda had pushed too much and Nota was kinda fed up. She sent me Linda's e-mail by mistake. I responded by telling her that I had no idea what she was talking about and that she had already done enough for Linda. I ended the e-mail with, "Breathe, Nota, breathe." She e-mailed me today to tell me that those e-mails became the Al-Anon topic at her meeting last night. She covered reacting, taking care of self, and the slogan "How important is it" while allowing Linda and I to remain anonymous.
