What are good consequences?  Where does the fear of letting go come from?  What are literature discussions like at the World Service Conference?  Wendy shares, in part 1 of 4 of Episode 10, about using the slogans from Chapter 9 of "How Al-Anon Works" (B-22 for hardcover, eA-22 for the audiobook version, B-32 for softcover) as stepping stones to serenity and how serenity can eventually become a guiding force in our lives for making decisions.  We also look closer at the slogan “Let it Begin With Me” as not just something that we say at the end of an Al-Anon meeting or having to do with outreach.

QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM WENDY:

• "...I grew up thinking there were a lot of things you wanted in life… good relationships, and you wanted money, and you wanted a good job… but serenity wasn’t on my list really."
