As long as we practice a program of recovery, we will die, we will die and the family will die if there is no personal recovery and there's no unity.
Ever wondered how the Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous could improve your family life? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, and guest Carol Ann Preston dive into Tradition One and its application in personal relationships. Carol, a seasoned Twelve Stepper, author, and chaplain, brings her unique perspective on maintaining unity within the family, handling secrets and past traumas, and boosting self-esteem during job searches.
She emphasizes the importance of prayer and communication in keeping family bonds strong. When conflicts arise or kids push boundaries, Carol suggests turning to a loving God for guidance. The discussion also touches on the impact of addiction on family dynamics, with Carol noting that many families harbor secrets, especially where addiction has been present. She recommends seeking professional help from ministers, chaplains, or counselors to address these issues openly.
Additionally, Carol shares her insights on self-care and self-esteem in job searching, stressing that confidence and a centered mindset can make a significant difference. The episode highlights the value of family meetings and service work, suggesting that families hold weekly meetings to discuss their service activities. This practice not only strengthens family bonds but also instills a sense of purpose and unity.
