What did you learn from your family of origin? How have you found new ways to relate to your family in recovery?

Welcome to episode 137 of the recovery show. Today we're going to talk about family.

This episode is brought to you by Christine. She used the

donation button on our website. Thank you Christine for your generous

contribution. 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.

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 family.

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 will be your host today.
