Today I can take an active role in fulfilling my needs. I can choose to become someone I would want to have in my life. ~ Family Groups, Al-Anon. Courage to Change—One Day at a Time in Al‑Anon II (Kindle Locations 1438-1439). Al-Anon Family Groups. Kindle Edition.

Proverbs says, “A man who has friends must himself be friendly.
As we search for ways to be liked, to be respected, to have friends,
we can treat the people we live with, work with, play with,
recover with as friends  and we will find everyone we know,
all we meet, as our friends and they will become our friends
as we become theirs.
