| 0:00.0 | What is it like to keep working your recovery program after divorcing the alcoholic in your life? |
| 0:06.7 | Welcome to episode 358 of The Recovery Show. This episode is brought to you by Michael, |
| 0:11.7 | Alyssa, Patricia, Diane, Bianca, and Beth. They use the donation button on our website. |
| 0:17.6 | Thank you, Michael, Alyssa, Patricia, Diane, Bianca, and Beth for your generous contributions. |
| 0:24.2 | This episode is for you. We are friends of failing members of alcoholics and addicts who have |
| 0:29.4 | found a path to serenity and happiness. We who live or have lived with the seemingly |
| 0:33.6 | hopeless problem of addiction understand as perhaps a few others can't. So much depends on |

| 1:39.8 | and continuing to learn and grow and participate in the recovery community just to be a happy |
| 1:47.9 | adjusted growing person. All the readings that I have today are from opening our hearts, |
| 1:53.4 | transforming our losses. That's the Rainbow Tide Guide book. And you like my description? |
| 2:00.8 | I don't think I'd heard that description of this book before we do like to identify our books by |
