No matter what I'm going through, it's going to a meeting that brings me peace.

Thank you, Becky and Matthew, for your generous contributions.

This episode is for you.

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. Have you ever wondered why do I need to go to

meetings? Can I just read the literature or maybe talk to my friends? I mean what's with the

meeting thing? So today we're going to talk about face-to-face meetings and why

they're important, for us at least. Before we begin we would like to state that

though we at the Recovery Show may be in a 12-step program,

we represent ourselves rather than the program.

During this show we will share our own experiences as they relate to the topic of face-to-face meetings. 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 leads, speaks to your

life. My name is Spencer and I speaks to your life.

My name is Spencer and I will be your host today.

Joining me as co-host Wendy.

How are you today, Wendy?
