Changing The Things We Can

Do you feel weighted down by people and situations in your life? Do you sometimes take responsibility for things you can’t control or fix? Then these recordings are for you. Beginning with the Serenity Prayer, Father Tom shows how the shift in focus of the Al-Anon Program can bring profound healing in our lives. Through his own experience and a wealth of literature, he shows how we waste our energy trying to control people and situations, and how we can use the Program to change our attitudes and behavior to find the peace and sanity we seek.  These talks are full of wisdom, humor and practical information about working the steps, using a sponsor and being one, a simple way to journal, and some wonderful ways to say “no”. And by describing his own craziness, he shows us how we can have love and compassion for ourselves as we continue to obsess, make mistakes, falter and grow. (9/00)
