Can I fire my Higher Power?  What is a "Meeting on Wheels?"  What is not allowed in recovery literature when bringing it into jails?  In part 1 of 4 of Episode 6, Nancy talks about her favorite book "As We Understood" (B-11) and shares how its positive uplifting take on our program has kept her using it.  In particular, we discuss two prayers on pages 213 and 214 and how this book is different than a daily reader.  We explore the spiritual (non-religious) nature of the program, what a Higher Power can be, and a possible new slogan!

QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM NANCY:

  • "...the [Al-Anon] program has given me so much understanding of a Higher Power.  It’s just changed my way of thinking as far as… it can be anything..."
