Ever felt the weight of trying to fix everyone around you? Aaron J certainly did. As the eldest of five, he grew up in a home filled with love but also a lot of fear. In this episode of The Recovery Show, Aaron shares his deeply personal journey through Al-Anon’s 12-step recovery process.

From his initial struggle to his spiritual awakening, Aaron's story is a heartfelt testament to the power of surrendering control and embracing the program's principles. You'll hear about the intersection of love and fear in addiction, the significance of Step 4, and the profound impact of sponsorship and fellowship.
