Episode description
How can I keep things simple? If my growth is like a tree, then what are my roots? What Alateen book can I bring to an Al-Anon meeting? In part 1 of 3 of this very special Episode 8, four Alateen members share what they like best about Alateen literature – specifically the Alateen Talk newsletter (no item #), "Courage To Be Me" (B-23), page 26 (January 26th) from the daily reader "Alateen-a day at a time" (B-10), and pages 25-26 from the "Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual 2014-2017" (P-24/27). They talk about a favorite Step, what Tradition One means, and some powerful characteristics that can define someone affected by alcoholism.
QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM AN ALATEEN MEMBER:
- "My favorite Step is really the first Step. ...it was hard, but I was up for the challenge."
