The Loving Parent Guidebook Guided Practice Recordings

ACA members submitted these anonymous recordings as acts of service to represent a rangeof genders, regional accents, and other vocal qualities found within our diverse fellowship. They are not expected to be of professional quality. Please choose the recording(s) that works for you.  We’ll be adding recordings gradually as volunteers review them. Keep checking back for updates.

Instructions for when and how to use the following guided practice, along with a written transcript, can be found in the book, The Loving Parent Guidebook. This recording and the original text are copyrighted by Adult Children of Alcoholics® World Service Organization, Inc. All rights reserved.

These guided practices are intended to be used alongside the LPG, not separately. For tips to support yourself during these guided practices, see The Loving Parent Guidebook: the Preface (pp. 1-7) and Appendix B: Instructions to Prepare for Guided Practices (p. 222).

Translations of the guided practices have yet to be completed, so these recordings are in English. If you’d like to help translate guided practices into other languages, please contact the Translations Committee at
