If you're struggling with the fear of letting go or harbouring resentments, Earl's wisdom might just be the nudge you need. Tune in to hear his compelling call to action: take steps in your own defence, make a move, and expand upon what you're already doing. Earl's message is clear – transformation is possible, but it requires action and commitment. So, whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
