Owning Your Role: Finding Solutions in Al-Anon Recovery
Clearly, a loved one's sobriety does not solve all our problems, nor does physical separation or even death. The drama of other people's problems can be very distracting, especially when those people are alcoholics.
Ever thought, 'If I'm not the problem, there is no solution'? It might sound puzzling at first, but this episode of The Recovery Show dives deep into why this concept is so powerful for those in Al-Anon's 12-step recovery program. Spencer, Eric, and several listeners open up about their journeys and how acknowledging their own roles in problems has led to profound changes in their lives.
They share personal stories and practical advice on setting boundaries, letting others find their own paths, and ultimately finding peace and fulfillment. The discussion highlights the importance of self-awareness and the challenges of facing one's own issues head-on. As the pandemic continues to affect face-to-face meetings, this episode offers a beacon of hope and connection for those seeking support. Tune in to hear how embracing this idea can transform your recovery journey and help you build a happier, healthier life.
