The Al-Anon program is based on the steps adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous, which we try little by little, one day at a time, to apply to our lives, along with our slogans and the serenity prayer, the loving interchange of help among members and daily reading of Al-Anon literature thus make us ready to receive the priceless gift of serenity.
Ever wondered how Al-Anon can transform lives? In this episode, Spencer sits down with John M on the Sober Speak podcast to share his compelling journey through the Al-Anon program.

Spencer opens up about how these steps have been pivotal in his quest for serenity and balance.
The conversation kicks off with Spencer discussing the importance of Step Three, which involves making a decision to turn one's will and life over to a higher power. This step, he explains, has been crucial in helping him take responsibility for his actions and find peace amid chaos. Spencer also touches on the daily rituals that keep him grounded, such as reading Al-Anon literature and engaging in mutual support with fellow members.
One of the most impactful parts of the discussion is Spencer’s emphasis on acceptance and letting go. He shares how these principles have helped him navigate the complexities of loving someone with an addiction. His story is a testament to the transformative power of Al-Anon, offering hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with similar challenges. Whether you're new to Al-Anon or a seasoned member, this episode provides valuable insights and inspiration.
