Finding Strength in Al-Anon: Steve's Journey of Support and Understanding

One of the hardest things that I had to learn was a new way of loving, because my old way of loving, which I'd grown up with- really that's what I'd learned from being a little girl- was, you know, to almost fix, to care almost claustrophobically for somebody- and I'm not suggesting that was you, Steve.
