I call this episode #2 of Season 2:\\xa0 How can the power of Now heal the pain?

Let\\u2019s approach the issue of addiction and what it does to an ordinary family, a loving, typical well-meaning family and see how living in the Now can help heal the pain.

Here\\u2019s what we cover:

  1. No one in the family is spared the damage that comes from addiction by a member of the family.
  2. Fear of what may happen in the future is the underlying emotion that drives the inner life of family members. Imagination turns to the disastrous, away from joyful.
  3. It is possible to regain sanity by the family, starting with an appreciation of the power of now.
  4. Al Anon is recommended to family members so that they can put the focus back on their own well-being.
  5. It IS possible to enjoy life whether the addict is in recovery or not.
