In this podcast, we discuss that although you did not ask for the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction, you had a genetic preposition towards it. Also, as your recovery progresses, why you will learn to not hate the disease anymore.

We learn that:

1. It really does not matter how you get into recovery, so long as you get started.
2. Families can be misled if they seek advice about addiction or alcoholism from one who is not trained in the disorder.
3. Desperation is a gift if you look at it the right way, and that is: it becomes a supreme motivator never to go back there ever again.
4. The beauty of AA and other twelve-step programs is that they do not preach to you. They deploy the time-honoured approach of storytelling to gently guide you into a better, saner life.
