How is a pandemic similar to recovery?  What audiobooks are available from Al-Anon?  Can a book also be a picture frame?  In part 1 of 11 (of Episode 13), Diane explains why the title of the book "From Survival To Recovery" (B-21) is so appropriate, how it helped her tell her own personal story and experience authentic joyfulness in her life.  Also, find out why we can't use highlighters when reading Al-Anon books!  Lastly, at this podcast show's website,  www.calchatpodcast.com,  I've attached *bonus content* so you can see an image of the two versions of "From Survival To Recovery" mentioned in this part of the episode!
