that is the other tricky thing especially when you're living with someone when you're married to them you own a house together like it's it's hard to detach without the consequences also falling on yourself.

Welcome to episode 70 of the recovery show.

This episode is brought to you by Laura and Becky.

They used the donation button on our website.

Thank you Laura and Becky 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

helpless problem of addiction understand as perhaps a few others can. So much depends on our

own attitudes and we believe that changed attitudes can aid recovery. Do you wonder how you're going to make it

through another day with the drinking and the chaos? Have you had thoughts of

leaving or worse? Today we have four stories of living with active alcoholism or addiction.

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 living with active alcoholism or addiction.

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'm your host today joining me as co-host Maria. How are you doing

today Maria? I'm doing all right. Thanks. How are you doing Spencer? I am I'm good today and I think it has a lot to do with the warm sunny weather but

Our minister started out the service today with a quote from one of our hymns.

It said winter has been with us long.

Yes.
