Episode 5 Alex - Topic: Working a "We" program

What happens when you stop trying to go it alone and start leaning on others? In this episode of 'Cross Talk', Corey and Claire sit down with guest Alex to discuss the power of working a 'We' program in Al-Anon. Many people enter the program believing they need to handle everything by themselves—after all, who can you trust if not yourself? But Alex, Corey, and Claire are here to challenge that mindset and reveal the transformative power of community support.

Alex shares his personal journey, recounting how Al-Anon helped him navigate a tough breakup. He learned to ask for help, listen actively, and practice detachment and unconditional love. These principles not only transformed his life but also showed him the profound impact of simply being present in the rooms. Corey and Claire dive deeper into these themes, discussing how community can alleviate anxiety and help overcome character defects like dishonesty.

The conversation is both heartfelt and enlightening, shedding light on the richness that comes from sharing your struggles and triumphs with others. If you've ever felt isolated in your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away with a renewed sense of hope and a deeper understanding of why Al-Anon is truly a 'We' program.
