Well, something that I like to say to myself when I'm getting into obsessive thinking is I don't have to react to everything.

I think that's especially useful for me in the classroom because there's 22 kids and as long as they're not threatening safety, physical safety or emotional safety,

I don't necessarily need to react to everything that is said or done.

Are you a teacher? How has recovery changed the way you teach? At what recovery tools do you use in the classroom?

Welcome to episode 371 of the Recovery Show. This episode is brought to you by KC, Kristen, Barclay, Mark, Margot, and Gianna.

Thank you KC, Kristen, Barclay, Mark, Margot, and Gianna for your generous contributions.

This episode is for you and, of course, everybody else who's listening.

We are friends and family members of Alcoholics and Addicts who have found a path to serenity and happiness.

We who live or have lived with the seemingly hopeless problem of addiction, understand as perhaps few others can.

So much depends on our own attitudes and we believe that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

Before we begin, we would like to state that in this show, we represent ourselves rather than any 12-step program.

During this show, we will share our own experiences.

The opinions expressed here are strictly those of the person who gave them.

Take what you like and leave the rest. We hope that you will find something in our sharing that speaks to your life.

My name is Spencer and I am your host today, joining me today as Rogyny.

Welcome, Rogy. Where are you coming to us from?

I am in San Francisco, California, rainy San Francisco today.

Which is a good thing.

Yes. Very good to be able to punish some of our reservoirs.

Hopefully, yeah.

We always like to open with a reading and you've picked one from cursed change to open with.

Yeah, so it's cursed change January 12th.
