Ajit S. - Family Recovery Speaker - "Relying on the Right Things"

This is a wonderful share from an awesome Al Anon speaker. He does a great job of mixing humor and levity with powerful recovery stories. This tape is very entertaining, and will have you laughing and crying.. sometimes at the same time! :)
Al-Anon / Alateen, known as Al-Anon Family Groups, is an international "fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems."They "help families of alcoholics by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"After a while I began to wonder why I was not as happy as I ought to be, since the one thing I had been yearning for all my married life [Bill's sobriety] had come to pass. Then one Sunday, Bill asked me if I was ready to go to the meeting with him. To my own astonishment as well as his, I burst forth with "Damn your old meetings!" and threw a shoe as hard as I could.
This surprising display of temper over nothing pulled me up short and made me start to analyze my own attitudes. ... My life's purpose of sobering up Bill, which had made me feel desperately needed, had vanished. ... I decided to strive for my own spiritual growth. I used the same principles as he did to learn how to change my attitudes. ... We began to learn that ... the partner of the alcoholic also needed to live by a spiritual program." - "Lois's Story" in How Al-Anon Works

I have been listening to this speaker for about 10 times already...had to put on several pair of underwear and lots of Kleenex i am laughing so hard...not only laughing at him but me as well. He spoke my language and you know the part about his parents so spoke to me and after over 10 years of resentment about my mother, after hearing him, I am now willing to forgive my mom..he is great...and he was in Austin Texas my home town....still listening....
