Instead, I can take the first step. Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
Ever feel like you're drowning in information but still not getting anywhere? In this episode of 'Al-Anon Reading', Joy de Leon shares her journey from being a bookworm on alcoholism to truly living the principles from Al-Anon's Courage to Change. Joy kicks off by admitting that she initially thought knowledge alone could fix her problems. Spoiler alert: it didn't. She soon discovered that overanalyzing was just another way to avoid taking real action.
Instead, Joy learned to embrace the principles of the program in her everyday life, and that's where the magic happened. One standout principle for Joy was conducting a personal inventory. Rather than letting her mind run in circles, she found it more helpful to assess her situation honestly and use that insight to make positive changes. It's a lesson in facing reality head-on, rather than hiding behind a wall of information.
Joy also talks about the importance of taking that first step. It's easy to get stuck in the 'thinking' phase, but action is where real progress happens. By applying these principles, she moved forward in her recovery and found hope for a brighter future. If you're tired of just reading about recovery and are ready to live it, this episode is a must-listen.
Joy's reflections offer practical advice and real-life examples of how embracing Al-Anon's principles can lead to meaningful change.
