Recovering from Recovery guest Rolf Ankermann

This episode of Saint Jude Retreats' Radio show features author Rolf Ankermann, author of Freedom to Recover, which chronicles his reflections along his very personal journey of addiction and recovery including why AA doesn’t and can’t work and how the end of selfishness leads to an authentic and meaningful life without relapse. Topics in the news include if medical marijuana can pass in NY, how Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe quit drinking when it didn’t make him happy, and listener questions on moderating alcohol use in midlife and how to seek help with post partum feelings of depression.

 “Altruistic and empathetic intent, followed by intuitive and thoughtful action, equals an authentic and meaningful life.”  Rolf Ankermann
