CAL Chat

In Episode 13's part 5 of 11, Diane's favorite book to use for outreach is the softcover version of "How Al-Anon Works" (B-32) and she points out how intimate individual outreach can still be done in an electronic (telephone/chat) or virtual (video) meeting. We reminisce about the days when we hauled Al-Anon books around in our cars.

QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM DIANE:

  • "Somewhere in these pages, folks will possibly see themselves."

Ep. 13 • Part 4 of 11 • From Survival To Recovery

In part 4 of 11 (of Episode 13), Diane and I keep the discussion going about the book "From Survival To Recovery" (B-21) focusing primarily on the chapter "Untangling Confusion" from page 269 (or 270 depending on the book's edition), the infamous "Promises" section from page 267 (or 269 in the first edition) and the book's very last chapter on page 287 which leads to an idea for a possible workshop! To find a virtual Al-Anon book study group, visit www.al-anon.org/al-anon-meetings/electronic-meetings and you can type into the search bar the term: “book,” or “literature,” or the particular book’s title that you’d like to study. Additionally, at this podcast show's website, www.calchatpodcast.com, I've attached *bonus content* so you can see an image of the "From Survival To Recovery" special bookmark/order form!

QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM DIANE:

  • "...there's no predicting anything."

QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM DIANE:

  • "...having this book available makes a big difference because anybody can pick it up... It's not too deep and it's not too scary."
