Welcome to episode 282 of the Recovery Show.

This episode is brought to you by Craig, Ate, and Candace.

Thank you Craig, Ate, and Candis 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 they ever have lived with the seemingly hopeless 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.

Before we begin, we would like to state that though we may be in a 12-step program, we represent

ourselves rather than the 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. Today, since I am traveling this week, I'm going to share with you Mary Pearl T talking

about step seven.

Step seven, humbly ask him to remove our shortcomings.

Well, this tells me I can't remove these defects or shortcomings by myself,

that only God has the power to do that.

You know, and the thing about it is, all I've got to do that.

You know, and the thing about it is, all I've got to do is be willing to live as if they have

been.
