  • Put the Shovel Down

    I love my Al-Anon for helping me to take care of myself, but Amber and her associates do a great job of helping me know how to effectively deal with my addicted loved one in and intelligent, kind, practical, and totally understandable manner, that may actually help them seek recovery.

  • Hope isn’t dead

    I am so glad a friend sent me to your YT channel. I’ve felt like I was caught in a riptide for the last 5-10 years, either struggling against the current or being swept up and away… you’ve helped me begin to swim parallel to the shore, out of its grips (to continue the metaphor) and I feel hope for the first time in a VERY long time. Thank you!

    Hi Amber, thank you for providing a place for the family to help their loved ones struggling with addictions. It's a nightmare being on both sides of it, but the advice and techniques you teach are invaluable and give me so much peace of mind! I'm looking forward to more episodes to be released each week!
