CAL – Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual 2014-2017 (Item # P-24/27)
WHAT I LEARNED: 1. Originally, I only read the “Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual” on an as-needed basis, but when my next podcast guest said that this was her favorite book that she wanted to talk about on my “CAL Chat” show, I had to dust off my manual & put on my scuba reading mask to…

MTG – Kissimmee – “Sólo Por Hoy”
WHAT I LEARNED: 1. When I have to make a decision & I’m unsure of my Higher Power’s will, I go with the decision that brings me the most peace. 2.
