An expectation is a resentment waiting to happen. So no expectations. You got it. Expectations are bad. Okay.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around through sheer determination and support? In this episode of the AA Grapevine Podcast, Tana opens up about her remarkable journey to sobriety and how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) played a pivotal role in her transformation. Initially, Tana was skeptical and resistant to the AA program, grappling with feelings of resentment and denial.
But through perseverance and a willingness to change, she found her place within the AA community, discovering a sense of belonging and understanding among fellow members.

Whether you’re battling addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the power of community in overcoming life's challenges, Tana’s story is sure to inspire and uplift. Tune in to hear how acceptance, spirituality, and community support can lead to profound personal transformation.
