One of the things in Al-Anon is you kind of find your own path. And you know there's lots of people who hate the concept of god and they say my higher path is the program itself.
Picture a family gathering where every adult is holding a drink, and no one stops at just one. This was Fred's reality growing up in a family steeped in alcoholism. His father, a loving man when sober, turned into a raging storm when drunk, often directing his anger at Fred. Despite vowing to be different, Fred found himself haunted by the same traits that plagued his father.
This episode of Steppin' Out Radio takes you through Fred's harrowing yet hopeful journey. Through the support of Al-Anon, Fred faced his fears head-on, learning the importance of forgiveness and finding his own path to recovery. If you've ever feared becoming like your parents or struggled with family dynamics marred by addiction, Fred's story offers a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear how he broke free from his family's destructive cycle and found peace.
