    How to Define The Fine Line Between Support and Control
    Jul 29 2024

    Hello and welcome back! This week (while enjoying a sweet treat) we chatted about the Al-Anon program, and identifying when supporting someone turns into control instead. We discuss the importance of listening to hear what someone is saying vs. listening to respond. We also talk about how crucial AA and Al-Anon meetings are to the foundation of our recoveries.
