DetachedSitting in Discomfort: Awareness, Acceptance, and then ChangeThis week our conversation was inspired by the Al-Anon daily reflection for 1/16 about sitting and accepting discomfort and how discomfort is a sign that the universe is preparing us for change and growth. We talk about how consistency is much easier when you have accountability whether that’s by making goals with a friend or getting a service position in the rooms.
