How can I keep things simple?  If my growth is like a tree, then what are my roots?  What Alateen book can I bring to an Al-Anon meeting?  In part 1 of 3 of this very special Episode 8, four Alateen members share what they like best about Alateen literature – specifically the Alateen Talk newsletter (no item #), "Courage To Be Me" (B-23), page 26 (January 26th) from the daily reader "Alateen-a day at a time" (B-10), and pages 25-26 from the "Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual 2014-2017" (P-24/27).  They talk about a favorite Step, what Tradition One means, and some powerful characteristics that can define someone affected by alcoholism.

QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM AN ALATEEN MEMBER:

  • "My favorite Step is really the first Step.  ...it was hard, but I was up for the challenge."
