Episode description

The conversation with Wendy continues about slogans in part 2 of 4 (of Episode 10) from "How Al-Anon Works" (B-22 for hardcover, eA-22 for the audiobook version, B-32 for softcover).  We focus on the slogan “Let Go and Let God” (especially the importance of faith in the 2nd half) and how a specific physical token can be used as a reminder to put this slogan into action!  I give recommendations on other CAL pieces to reference for a deeper dive into the slogans and lastly, find out why I consider slogans are similar to jewels.

QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM WENDY:

• "It was an illusion that I was controlling the outcomes, but I guess the illusion made me safe for a little while… but it never really lasted."
