Balancing Act: Stories from Dual Recovery Program Members
My Al-Anon program taught me about dealing with others, specifically the ability not to feel guilty that my drinking may cause other people to drink. I just love the saying I didn't cause it, I can't control it and I can't cure it, and that also means that my alcoholism does not cause another person to drink.
Ever wondered how people manage to juggle more than one recovery program? This episode of The Recovery Show dives into the lives of those who do just that.

Plus, in these times of social distancing, the discussion turns to the challenges and unexpected benefits of remote meetings.
