Step 2 - “Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity”.

For most of us living with a loved one suffering with alcoholism, we feel along way from sanity. Step 2 reminds us that we can’t get healthy again on our own. For me, it takes two things - the ability to keep my Higher Power close and attending Al-anon meetings.

Today’s reading reminds us that laughter may be a symptom that we are returning to sanity.

So with that - a few codependency jokes. Hope you get a good laugh!
