Terry Anne (in part 3 of 5 of Episode 12) sums up the Al-Anon book "Intimacy in Alcoholic Relationships" (B-33) in 3 words!  I reveal my favorite sections from pages 18-19 and the story of loss on page 118 that still stays with me.

Continuing the discussion about Al-Anon's "1961 World Service Conference Summary" (P-46) in Part 4 of 6 (of Episode 1 from "CAL Chat - Deep Dive"), I explain how I time traveled as research for this particular show.  Evelyn talks about what moved her spiritually and reveals a surprise about the Al-Anon 2022 World Service Conference.

In part 4 of 11 (of Episode 13), Diane and I keep the discussion going about the Al-Anon 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 https://meetings.al-anon.org/electronic-meeting-page 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,  https://calchatpodcast.com,  I've attached *bonus content* so you can see an image of the "From Survival To Recovery" special bookmark/order form!

I compare the audiobook of "How Al-Anon Works" (eA-22) to the print version (B-32) in Episode 13's part 9 of 11.  A moving story about suicide, Chapter 27's "Finding Reasons To Live," is highlighted because of what it taught me about expectations when listening to the audiobook version.  The show wraps with an update given on all Al-Anon audiobooks available.  Lastly, for the Al-Anon "2009 World Service Conference Summary," click this link  https://al-anon.org/pdf/P46_2009_web.pdf  to check out page 14 that is mentioned in this show.
