How is your inner child? What can you do to heal its herds and help it grow?

Welcome to episode 352 of the Recovery Show. This episode is brought to by Mary,

Leslie, Valerie, Debbie, Alexandra, and Diana. They use the donation button on our

website. Thank you, Mary, Leslie, Valerie, Debbie, Alexandra, and Diana 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 a 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. I'm

your host today. Joining me today is Becky. Welcome Becky. Hi. How are things where

Brittany Brown. That's right. It's time. All of this pretending and performing these

coping mechanisms that you've developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate

and from getting hurt has to go. Your armour is preventing you from growing into your

gifts. I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand

that you believed your armour could help you secure all of the things you needed to

feel worthy and lovable. But you're still searching and you're more lost than ever.
