“Eventually, we see that the friends we make in Al-Anon can become our confidants and strong supporters. And that's what, if you, I don't want to say come to know yourself, because I don't necessarily think it's an analytical process, I think it's much more of a physical process, and I think the more in which you experience intimacy with yourself, intimacy with your own fear, intimacy with your own discomfort and dissonance and transformations.”
