This week we have an Al-Anon open talk by Randy K. I (Spencer) identified with a lot of his experience. I was particularly struck by his description of his “addiction”, and related closely to it.
Upcoming topics include Concepts 8 and 9, your shared experience with intervention, and the non-drinking parent. Please call us at 734-707-8795 or email feedback@therecoveryshow.com with your questions or experience, strength and hope. Or just leave a comment right here.
Thank you so much Randy I can relate to it all. I’m new to Alanon and I wrote this whole paragraph to you but it timed out so I’m just reiterating what I originally said I like you had no alcoholics in my family however I did have gamblers and negative people. I Married a man who had for years recovery which turn to 13 and after marriage which took me over 10 years to do he became different relapsed and I really got to see a side of alcoholism that I didn’t know existed. I didn’t have the tools or knowledge to handle him we know what to do . He would become violent with me in a blackout. I have done nothing since butt hurt him blame him everything but help him and I’m so glad I went to Alanon to understand all of the problems I had before and after probably even before knowing him .
Your speech inspired me thank you so much for sharing.
Wow. How surreal to find one of my Al Pals as a featured speaker. Very blessed to have Randy K in one of my weekly groups along with several others that also have good recovery.
