Blanch D.'s Journey: 25 Years of Recovery and Sponsorship

Episode Overview

  • Sponsorship is crucial for personal growth in Al-Anon.

  • Letting go of resentment is vital for emotional well-being.
  • Education can be a safe haven during stressful times.
  • Detachment from problems, not people, helps maintain healthy boundaries.
Resentment is an acid that eats out the container.
