Kathy H. Al-Anon Speaker

What do you mean someone else’s drinking “had nothing to do with me and everything to do with the disease?”

What do you mean “Alanon is not my whole life, but Alanon allows me to lead a life that is whole?”

Please join us and learn more about Kathy H’s addiction to approval and how she leads a whole life today.

Dave D. AA Speaker

Dave took his alcoholism down to the beach, drew a line in the sand, saying he would never hit women, carry guns or deal drugs.

His waves of alcoholism came crashing in, washed away his line, and he “gave away another piece of his soul.” He couldn’t stay sober and he couldn’t stay the way he was.

Learn about “Crazy Dave’s” soulless eyes, his three-word prayer and how he came to understand what love truly means.

Angie B. Al-Anon Speaker

His wounded heart would call out to my tortured soul and we would march off into the sunset and live happily ever after.” Why did this never work?

Learn how denial worked in Angie B’s life, how it felt when her daughter shared she was an alcoholic, and why at Angie’s very first Alanon meeting, she “knew she was home".
