Tradition 11 is grounded in attraction not promotion. In this episode I talk about learning this lesson in relationship to Harry Potter and teaching my daughter to knit.

I chat about fellowship, both in al-anon and in making communities, and how I'm trying to share more openly. 

I talk about how making mistakes in my knitting is helping me to practice self compassion. 

In this episode, I talk about the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and the way it fits into my al-anon story of recovery...

In this episode, I talk about the links between step 4 (personal, moral inventory) and my yarn stash.

In this podcast, I chat about how I miss my al-anon home group, the challenges and value of anonymity, and how i'm enjoying learning about podcasting. 

It's okay not to knit or make right now. Making can help us focus and it can also help to distract us from being present. 

In this episode I talk about how hard it can be when the best thing to do is...nothing. So many people are struggling with this right now. I know this feeling well as someone who loves someone who struggles with alcohol. 

I decided to start a podcast about recovery and knitting during this weird time of social distancing.
