BONUS 15: Al-Anon: Support for Families and Friends
SEND US A TEXT, we’d love to hear from you!
How do we begin to heal when someone else’s addiction has left our lives in chaos?
In this bonus short, Karen and Mandi sit down for a heartfelt conversation about Al-Anon—a 12-step program for people affected by someone else’s drinking. Mandi opens up about her own experience discovering Al-Anon and how it quietly but profoundly transformed her monomyth.
What is Al-Anon really about? What happens when we stop trying to fix others and start focusing on ourselves? And how can this kind of support open the door to peace, even when nothing on the outside has changed?
If your life has been affected by someone else's drinking, this episode offers a glimpse into how al-anon can help.
Join us as we talk boundaries, recovery, and the surprising gift of letting go.
