  • A great resource…

    I have been listening to wing to The Recovery Show Podcast for years now and appreciate it as another resource for my recovery. I print the business cards available on the website and share them outside of meetings with my sponsees and other Al-Anon members. Thank you to all who participate in the podcast.

  • The recovery show

    This is great because it’s real life, and truthful, clear and simply helps us learn how al Anon works. Occasionally the subject is my life, problem. But mostly it helps see the world through another.. it grows compassion and hope. I also like the patience and compassion displayed by the leader. Sorry I forgot your name but Y OU are something special.
