April 8

Maaaring magkaroon ng malaking halaga ang pagsusuri sa nakaraan. Maaari itong mag-alok ng impormasyon tungkol sa kasalukuyan, pati na rin ng mga pahiwatig na maaaring makatulong sa atin na gumawa ng mga pagbabago para sa isang mas magandang hinaharap. Para sa atin na tumanggi, nagdistort, o nawalan ng ugnayan sa mga masasakit na alaala, ang pagharap sa katotohanan ng ating nakaraan ay maaaring maging isang kritikal na bahagi ng ating pagbawi sa Al-Anon. Ang mga masasayang alaala ay dapat ding kilalanin kung umaasa tayong magbabalik-tanaw sa makatotohanang paraan.

Gayunpaman, mahalagang tandaan na ang nakaraan ay tapos na. Wala tayong kapangyarihan sa mga nangyari noon. Bagama’t maaari tayong gumawa ng mga hakbang upang gumawa ng mga pagbabago, hindi natin mababago ang katotohanan na nakapinsala tayo sa iba. At hindi natin mababago ang katotohanang sinaktan tayo ng iba. Mayroon lamang tayong kapangyarihang magbago sa kasalukuyang panahon.

Ang pinakamahusay na magagamit natin sa nakaraan ay harapin ito at pagkatapos ay magpatuloy. Tiyak na matututo tayo sa lahat ng ating naranasan, ngunit hindi natin dapat hayaang pigilan tayo nitong mamuhay dito at ngayon.

Paalala sa Araw na Ito

Hindi ako masyadong maabala sa pagharap sa mga lumang sugat upang makalimutan ko ang tungkol sa bagong paglaki.
“Ang nakaraan ay simula lamang ng isang simula.”

H.G. Wells

APRIL 8

There can be great value in examining the past. It can offer information about the present, as well as clues that might help us make changes for a better future. For those of us who denied, distorted, or lost touch with painful memories, facing the reality of our past can be a critical part of our Al-Anon recovery. Fond memories must also be recognized if we hope to look back in a realistic way.

Still, it is important to remember that the past is over. We are powerless over what has gone before. Although we can take steps to make amends, we cannot change the fact that we have harmed others. And we cannot change the fact that others have harmed us. We have only the power to change this present day.

The best use we can make of the past is to face it and then move on. We can certainly learn from all that we have experienced, but we mustn’t let it hold us back from living here and now.

Today’s Reminder

I will not get so bogged down in dealing with old wounds that I forget about new growth.
“The past is but the beginning of a beginning.”

H.G. Wells

About Site

This website was created to determine if the collaborative power of the internet could be harnessed to spread the Alanon message to non-English speaking parts of the world farther and faster, while remaining true to the original texts of Alanon conference approved literature.

Once fully operational, and if successful, the concept could be adapted for translating CAL to any language.

While we may be in violation of Copyrights or Trademarks, we humbly ask that you hold this matter in abeyance during implementation. We anticipate completion about December 2021. At that time, if it is the wish of the membership, control of the domain and all content will be transferred to WSO or it can be closed it down.
