The language of the heart is spoken in Alcoholics Anonymous. And the language of the heart has no difference to it. When someone speaks from their heart, you don't see anything that you could have been using to make yourself different from that person.
Ever felt like you don't quite fit in? Kym certainly did when she first joined Alcoholics Anonymous. In this episode of 'Alcoholics Alive!', she opens up about her initial doubts and how the pamphlet 'Do you think you're different?' played a crucial role in her recovery journey. Kym's story is a heartfelt reminder that while we all have our unique struggles, there's a shared humanity that binds us together in the path to sobriety.
Alongside hosts Shank and Wayne, Kym discusses the importance of focusing on similarities rather than differences, and how honesty and the 'language of the heart' are vital in AA meetings. They also tackle some of AA's popular sayings like 'If you hang out in the barbershop long enough, you'll get a haircut' and 'It's better to give a resentment than get one', breaking down their relevance and impact.
This episode is a blend of personal stories and practical wisdom, offering listeners both comfort and insight into the collective journey of recovery.
