Hi, again. I relistened to Miguel and I must say listening the second time round to your message brought an inner thought. I hope to have bookmarks printed with the Al-Anon.org Web address so others can listen as well, on their own time. For Professionals and students.
It is a great 12 Step call. Thanks to all for preparing these podcasts.
Wow, what a wonderful tool. This is the 1st podcast I have heard and I am quite happy with what I heard. Miguel was quite forthcoming with his story of Alateen and Al-Anon and what it has done in his life. To be able to change the outcome of our life with just a few simple tools as the Steps, Traditions, Concepts, slogans and sponsorship. Thank you for the privilege to hear this podcast.
