Married to an Alcoholic Minister – Barbara K – 340
The Recovery Show » Finding serenity through 12 step recovery in Al-Anon – a podcast - A podcast by The Recovery Show

What is it like being married to an alcoholic minister who is beloved of his congregation? How might it cause you to behave in crazy ways? Today I am sharing with you a talk by Barbara K, recorded in 1993. I listened to this recently and I thought she captured so well the ways in which WE, the partners of alcoholics, can be and act crazier than our alcoholic loved ones. Readings and Links A listener sent some information about recovery programs that are not based on the 12 steps. She listed these: * SmartRecovery.org* CelebrateRecovery.com* RecoveryDharma.org* RefugeRecovery.org* SoberGrid.com Our guest, Josh, on episode 324, Recovery Dharma, talked about that program and Refuge Recovery. Upcoming topics A topic we're considering is an exploration of the idea “if I'm not the problem, there is no solution.” How does this speak to you? It's sort of a counterpoint to our recent episode “It's not your fault.” Please call us at 734-707-8795 or email [email protected] with your questions or experience, strength and hope.
