The speaker takes you on an imaginative journey through 'The Wizard of Oz', drawing parallels between Dorothy's adventure and the path of recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Tune in for a mix of humour, heartfelt stories, and a fresh perspective on a beloved film. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable reflections and a reminder that true courage, love, and wisdom are found along the path to sobriety.
