Do you want to do recovery your way? Are you skipping steps because you don't like some of them? Can you let go of that control?

Welcome to episode 105 of the recovery show. This episode is brought to you by Michelle and Alice. They use the

donation button on our website. Thank you Michelle and Alice 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 a seemingly hopeless problem of addiction understand as perhaps few others can.

Today we're going to talk about letting go of the process.

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 this topic of letting

go of the process.

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'll be your host today.

Turninging me as co-host Harriet, how are you today, Harriet?

I'm doing well, thanks, Spencer.

All right, and welcome back to the virtual studio.

Thanks, it's good to be here.

Harriet, you've chosen my reading.

Yes, I chose the reading that is in Courage to Change, page 19, January 19th.

Today I seek to become a little more accepting of myself, a little more comfortable in my own skin.

Although it is important to recognize and admit my limitations and flaws only my higher power can remove them.

Condemning my imperfections has never enhanced my appreciation of life or helped me to love myself more.
