  • Kathy H. is one of the best Al-Anon Family Groups speakers I have ever heard! This is a very captivating and powerful workshop as Kathy shares her experience with alcoholics, and her experience with the Al Anon recovery program! She shares about practicing patience, having peace of mind, and how the program provides an immense amount of hope to someone who knows/loves an alcoholic. Kathy is a great example of how someone can get well whether or not the other person does. Lots of great stories and you are sure to be inspired after listening to this set of speaker tapes! :)

      @@treevapeacock846 thank you for pointing this out. I do see an increase in compassion, openmindedness, and thoughtfulness in these generations that I know has impacted my own children who are just about to enter adulthood.
      Although I hadn't attributed it to this movement, many (perhaps all) of the men and women who are examples of growth have started this inner work of examining generational guilt, shame, anger, alcoholism, good and bad traits, how to break through from dysfunction to a more functional way of being.

    You very well may have saved my life today, and that is no kidding. I just heard you say you're not courageous, not true you are my hero as I learn I need to be my own and to learn what it means to put God first and be thankful that it really is all right and that we don't need to understand why, this minute, before I can feel grateful and have faith in it That I can see that I can believe I can get well, that I can believe I can choose that. I hope you are doing well I would move to the North Pole for you to be my sponsor. Haven't done well yet in this department = hmm, so surprising, me the relationship expert lol. I really needed this and I'll be listening again.

      I needed to hear your words. It has helped me to begin to forgive myself for not acknowledging the pain my children were and are going through. Justifying my own actions and denying their pain allowed a reason to make excuses and not confront the fact that I have been self righteous in allowing the facade that I created for myself. Making amends, losing the anger and resentment along with the self pity are huge steps for me. I know I will need the rest of my life to come to terms with the damages this created. Alanon is not new to me. I have seen how it works in lives. Self discipline is so important in prioritizing it in my daily life. Thank You for sharing. I am glad I stumbled on this site. God at work in my life through you today.
