Thank you, Raymond, Cindy, and Renee 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. Before we begin, we would like to state that in this show,

we represent ourselves rather than any 12-step program. During the 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 you will find something in our sharing that speaks to your life.

My name is Spencer.

I am your host today, and joining me today is Mary Lou.
