In this episode, we're reflecting on Chapter 9 starting on page 122 - "The Family Afterward"  in the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous. It's not just about the alcoholic, but about everyone touched by addiction, teaching us patience, love, and tolerance. It's a call to let go of past grievances and embrace new perspectives shaped by time, patience and understanding.

Patience is indeed a virtue when rebuilding bridges burned in the chaos of addiction. Sometimes, it's about acceptance and recognizing the new foundations that take time to solidify. As we journey through these pages, we learn that overcoming our past gives us the tools to help others. In God's hands, even our darkest past can become a beacon of hope for those still in shadow.

Join us, share your thoughts, and let's continue to be a source of hope and strength for each other. Remember, your past is your greatest asset in recovery, guiding you towards a brighter tomorrow.
