Keeping Focus: The Role of Tradition 6 in Al-Anon Recovery

The program teaches me that it's okay to say that, to say, look, I'm not able to be here with you because of something that is going on with me, rather than sort of hiding that and then having you know my son, my daughter, my wife- whoever wonder why is spencer so grumpy?
Ever wondered why Al-Anon emphasizes not endorsing outside enterprises? In this episode of 'The Recovery Show', Spencer and Ruth take a deep dive into Tradition 6, which advises Al-Anon groups to steer clear of lending their name or finances to other ventures. But what does that really mean for you? Spencer and Ruth break it down, explaining how this tradition helps maintain the group's primary spiritual focus and avoid distractions like money and prestige.
They share real-life examples of how staying focused on your own recovery can lead to greater serenity. By minding your own business and not getting entangled in outside issues, you can better navigate the challenges of loving someone with an addiction. Plus, they discuss the importance of cooperating with Alcoholics Anonymous to achieve shared goals without losing sight of Al-Anon's mission. Tune in to understand how Tradition 6 can guide you toward a more serene life.
